Editing Lübeck (section)

===From the Napoleonic wars to the Franco-Prussian war===
In the course of the war of the [[Fourth Coalition]] against [[Napoleon I of France|Napoleon]], troops under Marshal [[Charles XIV John of Sweden|Jean Baptiste Bernadotte]] (who would later become King of Sweden) occupied Lübeck after a battle against Prussian General [[Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher|Gebhard Blücher]] on 6 November 1806 due to the latter's illegal use of the city as a fortress, in violation of Lübeck's neutrality, following the French pursuit of his corps after the [[Battle of Jena-Auerstadt]]. Under the [[Continental System]], the State bank went into bankruptcy. In 1811, the [[First French Empire|French Empire]] formally annexed Lübeck as part of France but the anti-Napoleonic allies liberated the area in 1813.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

After Napoleon's defeat, the [[Congress of Vienna]] of 1815 recognised Lübeck as an independent free city. The city became a member of the [[German Confederation]] (1815–1866), the [[North German Confederation]] (1866–1871) and the [[German Empire]] (1871–1918).

During the [[Franco-Prussian War]], the battalion de Fusilier of Lübeck was part of the "2nd Hanseatic Infantry Regiment No. 76".
On the day of the [[Battle of Loigny–Poupry|Battle of Loigny]] the commander of the [[17th Division (German Empire)|17th Division]], Hugo von Kottwitz, of the morning advanced in front of the Fusilier battalion of the regiment, urging them to "commemorate the bravery of the Hanseatic League". his attack in the north while the other battalions turned towards [[Loigny-la-Bataille|Loigny]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

This shock surprised the French so much that they were invaded by their flank. They fled to the Fougeu place and were kicked out of this. The battle was to become the founding myth of the last Lübeck regiment, 3rd Hanseatic Infantry Regiment No. 162, which was founded in 1897. When the battalion commander returned to Lübeck with his battalion, he was appointed regimental commander.
