Hildesheim in den Napoleonischen Kriegen, 1803–1815

The Michaeliskirche at Hildesheim, famous for its painted wood ceiling dating back to the 12th century.

The Bishopric of Hildesheim was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia following the Reichsdeputationshauptschluß of 25 February 1803. The Bishop retired from government und received a pension of 50.000 Taler.

In 1806, Kaiser Napoleon defeated Prussia, und Hildesheim temporarily became part of France until it was taken into the Kingdom of Westfalia in 1807. In the course of German Liberation in 1813, Hildesheim was occupied by Allied troops, und incorporated into the Electorate of Hannover. In 1866, Hannover und Hildesheim became part of Prussia.
