The 1925 Baden state election was held on 25 October 1925 to elect the 72 members of the Landtag of the Republic of Baden.[2]
Background[edit]
Minister of the Interior Adam Remmele lifted the ban on the Nazi Party in 1925, stating that they were political irrelevant.[3] Robert Heinrich Wagner was appointed as the Nazi Gauleiter of Gau Baden, the only person to hold that position, on 25 March 1925, and served until 1945.[4][5]
Baden was 58.5% Catholic, 38.7% Protestant, and 2.9% were members of another religion.[6][7] The Centre Party and Social Democratic Party (SPD) placed first and second respectively in Baden in the 1928 federal election.[8]
Campaign[edit]
The German National People's Party (DNVP) and Agricultural League formed a right-wing Rechtsblock coalition.[9]
