Unification of the imperial and collegiate city
On February 1, 1811, the work of the previous Imperial City of Kempten ended. The collegiate town had been subordinated to Bavarian officials as early as 1803. The formerly warring cities were united by an imperial order and administered as a Bavarian country town by a municipal council . The royal Bavarian city judge or commissioner and police director took over the duties of the mayor. Mayors were not re-elected until 1818.
