The seventh door - This time the Revolution in Baden 1849

The Revolutionary wars of 1848/49 are a very interesting subject for me. We have wars in Italy and Schleswig, as well as Hungary. And we have peoples uprising in France, Austria and Germany.

One of the "bigger" campaigns for the German wars is the uprising in Baden. The Baden army joint the Revolution. Troops of the German Bund (mostly Prussians) had to put the revolution down.

Especially for Baden, there is a book in Osprey style with German text available from Zeughaus Verlag. They also have one for the war in Schleswig.

Alfred was asked to build a diorama for the museum in Ludwigshafen about the siege of the town.

He took this painting from his archive

And then he started working Dr. Alfred Frankenstein at his best again:-)
