Grand Duchy of Hesse and by the Rhine Großherzogtum Hessen und bei Rhein House of Lorraine-Brabant
The Grand Duchy of Hesse and by
Rhine (German: Großherzogtum Hessen und bei Rhein), or, between 1806 and 1816, Grand Duchy of Hesse (German: Großherzogtum
Hessen)-as it was also known after 1816-was a member state of the German Confederation from 1806, when the Landgraviate of
Hesse-Darmstadt was elevated to a Grand Duchy, until 1918, when all the German monarchies were overthrown. Before 1866, its
northern neighbour was its former sister Landgraviate, since 1803 an Electorate, of Hesse-Kassel - for this reason, this state
was sometimes colloquially known as Hesse-Darmstadt. Due to Hesse-Darmstadt's membership of Napoleon's Confederation of
the Rhine, it was forced to cede a considerable amount of territory at the 1815 Congress of Vienna. The territory of the Duchy
of Westphalia, which Hesse-Darmstadt received from the 1803 German Mediatisation, was ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia.
However, it received some territory on the western bank of the Rhine, including the important federal fortress at Mainz. The
Grand Duchy changed its name to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and by Rhine (German: Großherzogtum Hessen
und bei Rhein) in 1816. In 1867, the northern half of the Grand Duchy (Upper Hesse) became a part of the North German
Confederation, while the half of the Grand Duchy south of the Main (Starkenburg and Rhenish Hesse) remained outside. In 1871,
it became a constituent state of the German Empire. The last Grand Duke, Ernst Ludwig (a grandson of Queen Victoria and brother
to Empress Alexandra of Russia), was forced from his throne at the end of World War I, and the state was renamed the People's
State of Hesse (Volksstaat Hessen). The majority of the state combined with Frankfurt am Main, the Waldeck area (Rhine-Province) and
the former Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau to form the new state of Hesse following the Second World War. Excepted was the
Montabaur district from Hessen-Nassau and that part of Hessen-Darmstadt on the left bank of the Rhine (Rhenish Hesse) became
part of the Rhineland-Palatinate state. (Bad) Wimpfen - an exclave of Hessen-Darmstadt - became part of Baden-Württemberg,
district. 
History
of the House of Hesse The
House of Hesse is a European royal dynasty from the region of Hesse, originally and still formally
the House of Brabant,The origins of the House of Hesse begin with the marriage of Sophie of Thuringia,
daughter of Louis IV, Landgrave of Thuringia and Elizabeth of Hungary with Henry II, Duke of Brabant
from the House of Reginar. Sophie was the heiress of Hesse which she passed on to her son, Henry upon her retention
of the territory following her partial victory in the War of the Thuringian Succession in which
she was one of the belligerents. Originally
the western part of the Landgraviate of Thuringia, in the mid 13th century it was inherited by
the younger son of Henry II, Duke of Brabant, and became a distinct political entity. From the
late 16th century it was generally divided into several branches, the most important of which were those
of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel) and Hesse-Darmstadt. In the early 19th century the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel
was elevated to Elector of Hesse (1803), while the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt became the Grand
Duke of Hesse (1806), later Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. Electoral Hesse (Hesse-Kassel)
was annexed by Prussia in 1866, while Grand Ducal Hesse (Hesse-Darmstadt) as lasted until the
end of the German monarchies in 1918. Moritz, Landgrave of Hesse is the current (2012) head of the house. The Branches of the House of Hesse
Philip I, Landgrave
of Hesse, died in 1567. Hesse was divided between his four sons, four new lines which arose: Hesse-Darmstadt,
Hesse-Kassel, Hesse-Marburg and Hesse-Rheinfels. The line of Hesse-Darmstadt was also part of
the morganatic line of the Battenberg family when Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine married
to Countess Julia Hauke. The Battenbergs who later settled in England changed that name to Mountbatten after
World War I. House

Hesse-Kassel)

Hesse-Kassel and its
junior lines were annexed by Prussia in 1866; Hesse-Darmstadt became the People's State of Hesse
when the monarchy was abolished in 1918. Hesse-Philippsthal died out in the male line in 1925; Hesse-Darmstadt
in 1968. Descendants of Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld are alive to this day. Grand Dukes of Hesse (-Darmstadt) and by Rhine, 1806-1918 | Image | Name | Start term | End
