I saw this car with US license plates from Georgia in Baden a few days ago. Proof of Baden is the BrownBoveri-strasse sign to the left of the traffic light. Brown Boveri were the founders of the engineering firm BBC that merged with ASEA around 1988 and is now known as ABB. Headquartered in Baden.

I've written about Lauffohr a couple of times and the last photo was one where the mist was thick over the rivers Reuss and Aare as they merged in the area. The visibility in this photo is actually quite good. Way in the back, center-left is Baden. The white building in the center of the photo, and a couple of the buildings behind it and to the right are ABB factories and such.

Here's another photo from a different part of the Wasserschloss region. The Aare flows in from the right, while the Reuss comes down from the left. It would be better to have a panorama of this region but I didn't have a tripod with me at the time.
If you look closely in the left half of the photo you'll notice what looks like a factory. That belongs to ABB (Asea Brown Boveri), a company that is a "global leader in power and automation technologies". Brown Boveri was established in Baden in 1891 and was the first company to transmit high voltage AC power. That's a simplified statement of the complicated history, a little of which can be read at this IEEE site. Asea dates back to 1883, started in Stockholm, Sweden. The two merged in 1988.
