Württemberg-Baden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Württemberg-Baden is a former state of West Germany. It was created in 1945 by the USA occupation forces, after the states of Baden and Württemberg had been split up between the US occupation zone and the French zone. Württemberg-Baden consisted of the northern halves of both states; its capital was Stuttgart. In 1952, it was merged with Württemberg-Hohenzollern and Baden into the newly founded state of Baden-Württemberg.

The only minister president (prime minister) of Württemberg-Baden was Reinhold Maier (DVP, then FDP; 1946-1952).
