{{Short description, Territory of the Holy Roman Empire The Margraviate of Baden-Hachberg was a territory of the Holy Roman Empire, in the upper Rhine valley, which existed from 1212 to 1415.

The center of the Margraviate was the stronghold on the Hochburg (Hachberg) near Emmendingen. In the course of the 13th century, the Hachberg line was able to assert itself against the competition from the Counts of Freiburg in the area between the Black Forest and the Rhine (Breisgau). The Margraviate of Baden-Hachberg existed as an independent territory until 1415, when Otto II von Hachberg sold his property to Bernard I, Margrave of Baden-Baden.

History Of Baden
History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop a ...
