Abstract:
Despite the social and economic problems of 19th century Baden, the success of antisemitic political parties was limited, due to the intervention of the liberal government and the Grand Duke, and the loyalty of the Catholic majority and the working classes to their traditional parties, the Center and the Social Democrats. Antisemitic prejudice was expressed in the press and by officials, but when the antisemitic German Social Party became active in the 1890s, the government determined to resist any attack on emancipation, which was part of the constitutional regime. A close watch was kept on the local antisemitic newspaper, the "Badischer Volksbote." The Conservative and Catholic Center parties contained strong anti-Jewish elements and cooperated with the German Social Party for tactical and electoral purposes. Fear of this coalition was another motive for the government's energetic action against antisemitism.
