The first German Revolution did not break out in Berlin in 1848, but in the state of Baden. Little is known about the reasons why the Baden Revolution and its seemingly within-reach dream of unity, freedom, and democracy ultimately failed to come to fruition. The desperate struggle of the Baden folk hero and poet of freedom, Andreas Lenz, clearly shows the difficulties of implementing profound changes in a society.
