Who lies interred hereMap of the crypt

For more than a hundred years, the family members of the House of Baden have been interred in the crypt of the sepulchral chapel. The coffin of Prince Ludwig Wilhelm for whom the sepulchral chapel was built has a prominent place in the very front. A tiny child's coffin in the first niche to the right behind it belongs to little Princess Henriette von Baden.
