background
With the incorporation of the city of Lübeck, which had been under French occupation since 1806 , into the French Empire on January 1, 1811, the territory of France extended to the Baltic Sea and the city was given an administration based on the French model. In place of the previous four Mayor of Lübeck it came appointed by the emperor Maire , the Council was also appointed a municipal council (fr. Conseil municipal ) replaced, and separation of administrative and judicial introduced ( judicial organization of the Hanseatic departments ). The oath chapel of the Lübeck council as part of the Lübeck council silver was confiscated and had to be delivered in Hamburg. The future position of the city in the French Empire was not reflected in its status as the seat of the arrondissement. For historians, numerous additional highlights now show that Paris did indeed want to turn the port city into a Tire of the North . In addition to the elevation to the Bonne ville de l'Empire français and other formal emphasis, the project of the extended north canal from Paris to Lübeck, which was immediately started by French surveyors, is a clear sign of the future importance of the city already at the time of the continental barrier. The Stecknitz Canal should be used for this. The measurements of the Hemmelsdorfer See as a planned new seaport on the Bay of Lübeck were carried out immediately. The fundamental study by the geographer JPG Catteau-Calleville (1759-1819) about the Baltic Sea from Lübeck to the port of Arkhangelsk appeared as early as 1812 . The idea of combining the three Hanseatic cities of Bremen, Hamburg and Lübeck by adding Sachsen-Lauenburg and the Land Hadeln to form a separate Hanseatic territorial state in the Rhine Confederation was rejected.

Peter Hinrich Tesdorpf and Christian Adolph Overbeck were only temporary members of the municipal council, as they were soon taken up by other tasks in the city administration.
Rump Municipal Council (1813)
With the return of first the Danish allies of France, then the French occupying power after the departure of the Russian General Wallmoden , the municipal council was ordered to meet again on June 3, 1813. However, only part of the councilors obeyed; the rest had left the city.
On the order of the Prefect, all members of the municipal council who had belonged to the city council before 1811 and who had resumed this office after the first liberation had to resign from the municipal council due to unreliability. Stephan Hinrich Behncke, Friedrich Nölting, Christian Heinrich Kindler, Johann Friedrich Hach, Johann Christoph Coht, Ludwig Mentze, Johann Köhler and Thomas Günther Wunderlich were affected by this. However, in order not to weaken the council, which was already incomplete and therefore actually incapable of working, the prefect changed the order so that almost all former councilors present had to belong to the municipal council again; only Johann Christoph Coht was excluded.
Since the municipal council was still understaffed and therefore not legally quorate, the sub-prefect filled it with extraordinary council members, so-called notables , on June 5 , in order to enforce a quorum. Due to frequent resignations or the refusal to take office, the composition of these notables changed constantly. With the final liberation of Lübeck and the restoration of the previous council by the Swedish Crown Prince on December 7, 1813, the municipal council ceased to exist.
After the return of the French, Anton Diedrich Gütschow was to be reinstated in the office of Mayor, but he had previously left Lübeck. On the orders of Louis-Nicolas Davout , Friedrich Adolph von Heintze had to take over the post of provisional mayor on July 7th . On October 12, 1813, Heintze was arrested and taken hostage to Hamburg along with a number of members of the municipal council and other citizens. His second deputy Friedrich Wilhelm Grabau continued the official business .
