I have a small plate with a picture of a young man on it, seems amost dutch...looks hand painted, and in very good condition. What do you make of it? /The name of Baden is on the back of the plate. Please reply, .. Thank you. My folks house burned down in 1947 and a sweet neighbor and friend gave this to my mother. I was 13 yrs. old at the time and I kept this all these years...because I loved the painting. I am 76 years old and would love to know anything about this plate.

How can I get guide information? I am doing geneology, can't speak German, want to travel to Volkerthausen, Kussmueth, and Baden Baden. What travel agency should I contact to find a driver?
