Louis George, Margrave of Baden-Baden

Louis George, Margrave of Baden-Baden (; 7 June 1702 – 22 October 1761) was a German nobleman and the Margrave of Baden-Baden from 1707 until his death in 1761. From 1707 to 1727, his mother Sibylle of Saxe-Lauenburg was the regent of Baden-Baden. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Augustus George. He was nicknamed Jägerlouis (the "hunter Louis") because of his passion for hunting.

At the age of 16 years, the young prince was in love with Marie Leszczyńska, daughter of the former king of Poland but the couple were never to unite. Marie was later the consort of Louis XV of France. His sister Johanna was later a resident of the French court and wife of Louis d'Orléans, a grandson of their father's enemy Louis XIV.

As an unmarried prince, in the summer of 1720 he and his mother travelled to Prague where he would meet his future spouse (first of two) at the Schloss Hluboka nad Vltavou.

The chosen bride was Princess Maria Anna of Schwarzenberg, a daughter of Prince Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg and Princess Eleonore of Lobkowicz. His mother travelled to Vienna in order to seek permission from Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor. Permission was granted and he married Maria Anna on 8 April 1721 at the Český Krumlov Castle. The couple were the parents of four children, of whom only one survive infancy. As a wedding gift, his mother gave him her hunting lodge at Fremersberg.

At Maria Anna's death in 1755, he married again to Princess Maria Anna of Bavaria on 10 July 1755. She was the daughter of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor and his Austrian wife Archduchess Maria Amalia. The second marriage remained childless.

Thanks to his mother, Baden-Baden was once again a prosperous state, having been ravaged by the French at the time of his parents' marriage in the 1690s.

Due to his mothers careful handling of the state's finances, the state was no longer in debt and had considerably enlarged Louis George's personal fortune. His mother retired to the Schloss Ettlingen where she died in 1733.

The son of a famous military general, Louis George's main passion was for hunting (much like his contemporary Louis XV) and was nicknamed Jägerlouis, the "hunter Louis", boxstyle_1=background-color: #fcc; boxstyle_2=background-color: #fb9; boxstyle_3=background-color: #ffc; boxstyle_4=background-color: #bfc; boxstyle_5=background-color: #9fe; 1= 1.
