Kandern Baden-Württemberg Germany

Disorder, fomented by republican agitators, continues in Baden despite the government's concessions to the Liberals' Offenburg program.

The efforts of the government to suppress the agitators with the aid of federal troops leads to an armed insurrection, which is mastered without much difficulty.

The uprising, led by Friedrich Hecker and Franz Joseph Trefzger, is lost on the Scheidegg near Kandern on April 20, 1848, to Hessian troops under Friedrich von Gagern.

Gagern is killed in the encounter, but the revolutionaries are defeated and scattered.
