Durch die Verlegung der Residenz nach München verliert das Schloss 1778 mit dem pfälzischen Kurfürsten Karl Theodor (1724-1799) seinen größten Förderer. Seit 1743 haben er und seine Gemahlin Elisabeth Augusta (1722-1794) dem Schloss höchsten höfischen Glanz verliehen. Mit der Auflösung der Kurpfalz unter Napoleon fällt Mannheim 1803 an Baden; das Schloss ist von 1806 bis 1811 Sitz des Erbgroßherzogpaares Karl von Baden und Stephanie de Beauharnais (1789-1860). Doch bleibt Karlsruhe die badische Residenz, wenngleich die populäre Stephanie als Witwe ab 1819 bis zu ihrem Tode 1860 im Mannheimer Schloss wohnt. Europäische Geschichte wird 1868 mit der Unterzeichnung der Mannheimer Rheinschifffahrtsakte im Schloss geschrieben: Sie garantiert endgültig die freie Schifffahrt auf dem Rhein. Seit 1926 wird das Schloss auch für museale Zwecke genutzt wie zeitweise für die stadtgeschichtlichen Sammlungen. © Stadtarchiv Mannheim Institut Für Stadtgeschichte

Born in Versailles at the beginning of the French Revolution, Stéphanie was the daughter of Claude de Beauharnais, 2nd Count des Roches-Baritaud (1756–1819). In 1783 the 2nd Count married Claudine Françoise de Lezay (1767–1791). The marriage resulted in the birth of first her older brother Alberic de Beauharnais (1786–1791) and then Stephanie herself. Her father remarried in 1799 to Suzanne Fortin-Duplessis (1775–1850).(Submitted on October 2, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
