Louis II, Grand Duke of Baden
Louis II, Grand Duke of Baden (August 15, 1824-January 22, 1858) was the son of Leopold I, Grand Duke of Baden and Sophie of Holstein-Gottorp, Princess of Sweden.
Louis succeeded his father as Grand Duke of Baden on April 24, 1852. His brother Frederick acted as regent, because Louis suffered from mental illness. However, in 1856, his brother Frederick was crowned Grand Duke as well. He was also an honorary citizen of Karlsruhe.
