28th Division (German Empire)

Division) was a unit of the Prussian and German Army, almost entirely made up of troops from the Grand Duchy of Baden.

The Grand Ducal Baden Division served in the Franco-Prussian War against France in 1870-71, where its regiments saw action in the Siege of Strasbourg and the Battle of the Lisaine.

In World War I, the division served primarily on the Western Front, seeing action at the Battle of the Frontiers and then moving north during the Race to the Sea.

When the Armistice took effect, the division was occupying defensive positions on the right bank of the Meuse, in the northern part of the Argonne Forest.

Divisions received engineer companies and other support units from their higher headquarters.
