Historical background
GERMANY - TERRITORY OF HAMBURG
(19/11/1806-30/05/1814)
General Mortier seized Hamburg on November 19, 1806 at the end of the Prussian campaign (fourth coalition). The port will become an observatory and a checkpoint of the Continental Blockade against England. Hamburg was integrated into the French Empire by the senatus-consultum of December 13, 1810 and became the capital of the Bouches de l'Elbe department. The Cossacks seized the city on March 12, 1813, but Marshal Davoust took it back on the following May 30 and remained there until the Emperor's abdication. He evacuated the city only under the application of the first Treaty of Paris on May 30, 1814.
