It was probably Grand Duke Ludwig von Baden (*1763 \u20201830) who “promoted the resurgent glassmaking industry in Freiburg under his direction”. This can be seen in the inscription on the only remaining disc with the Baden coat of arms in the attic of the castle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The collection of the Margraves of Baden received a considerable increase in glass panes in 1831 through a donation of 15 panes from the town of Oppenau, six of which were at Staufenberg Castle. Extensive research in the run-up to the exhibition has revealed that at least 14 discs originated in Switzerland. Several discs were also adapted to the needs of Staufenberg by changing the lettering or partial motifs or reassembled from broken discs. The Helmle company in Freiburg im Breisgau was commissioned to install the window sashes in Staufenberg Castle. The installation took place shortly after Grand Duke Leopold von Baden acquired ownership of the palace.<\/p>

Until the outbreak of the Second World War, these windows were installed in the castle’s living rooms and bedrooms. In 1939 Margrave Bertold von Baden had the Staufenberg windows brought to Salem, where they were kept in the archives. From 5 to 21 October 1995, the Margrave of Baden had the large collection auctioned off under the direction of “SOTHEBY’S”. The state of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg acquired the 13 remaining Staufenberg window sashes outside the auction. These have since been housed in the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe. <\/p>

The Chairman of the Wine and Local History Museum was able to photograph the Staufenberg discs acquired by the state of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg in 2003 in the State Museum. With the help of these photographs and the photographs of the windows provided by the State Museum, the BONATH PRINTERIOR company in Gengenbach has now reproduced the stained glass windows that once existed at Staufenberg Castle on glass using a digital printing process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
