With the ''[[Reichsdeputationshauptschluss]]'' resolution in 1803, Dortmund was added to the [[Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda]], with as a result that it was no longer a [[free imperial city]]. [[William V, Prince of Orange|William V, Prince of Orange-Nassau]] did not want stolen areas and therefore let his son [[William I of the Netherlands|Prince Willem Frederik]] (the later King William I of the Netherlands) take possession of the city and the principality. This prince held its entry on 30 June 1806, and as such the [[County of Dortmund]] then became part of the principality. On 12 July 1806, most of the Nassau principalities were deprived of their sovereign rights by means of the [[Treaty of the Confederation of the Rhine|Rhine treaty]]. In October of the same year, the County of Dortmund was occupied by French troops and was added to the [[Grand Duchy of Berg]] on 1 March 1808. It is the capital of the Ruhr department. In 1808 Dortmund becomes capital of French satellite [[Ruhr (department)]].{{sfn|Britannica|1910}} At the [[Congress of Vienna]] in 1815, the entire Grand Duchy of Berg, including Dortmund, was added to the [[Kingdom of Prussia]]. The state mining authority of the [[Ruhr area]] was founded in 1815 and moved from Bochum to Dortmund. Within the [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussian]] [[Province of Westphalia]], Dortmund was a district seat within [[Regierungsbezirk Arnsberg]] until 1875, when it became an urban district within the region.

During the [[industrialisation]] of Prussia, Dortmund became a major centre for [[coal]] and [[steel]]. The town expanded into a city, with the population rising from 57,742 in 1875 to 379,950 in 1905. Sprawling residential areas like the North, East, Union and Kreuz district sprang up in less than 10 years. In 1920, Dortmund was one of the centres for resistance to the [[Kapp Putsch]] – a right-wing military coup launched against the [[Social Democratic]]-led government. In the [[Ruhr uprising]], radical workers formed the 50,000-man [[Ruhr Red Army]] in hopes of setting up a soviet-style government. They were defeated with considerable loss of life by government and [[Freikorps]] units.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wulfert |first=Anja |date=22 January 2002 |title=Der Märzaufstand 1920 |trans-title=The March Uprising 1920 |url=https://www.dhm.de/lemo/kapitel/weimarer-republik/innenpolitik/maerzaufstand-1920.html |access-date=1 August 2024 |website=Deutsches Historisches Museum |language=de}}</ref> On 11 January 1923, French and Belgian troops [[Occupation of the Ruhr|occupied the Ruhr]].
