background

The medieval county of Ufgau extended from the Oos over the lower reaches of the Murg to the Albgau. The residence was Waldenfels Castle near Malsch. In the 12th century it largely fell to the Margraviate of Baden, whose residence was in the city of Baden (today's Baden-Baden) until the division in 1535.

After the division of the estate, the area belonged to the margraviate of Baden-Baden, which was reunited with Baden-Durlach in 1771. The residence was then relocated to the centrally located Karlsruhe. The former Ufgau thus formed the core part of Baden, which (unlike e.g. the Breisgau or the Electoral Palatinate) has always belonged to this state.

Because of this history, the residents see themselves simply as "Badeners" and have no regional identity of their own as "Mittelbadener" or "Ufgauer". In contrast to Breisgau, Kraichgau or Hegau, the name Ufgau is hardly used any more, but rather - if at all - rather of "Mittelbaden".
