The various German countries were partly against Napoleonic France, partly on his side and partly neutral. But at that time the initial enthusiasm among those who wanted political reforms was mostly gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here in Rhineland for example many had welcomed the change that the French - first revolutionary, then imperial - government meant. (Just think of the emancipation that the Code Civil brought - Prussia which annexed the area after 1815 did fortunately not replace that with its relatively antiquated law.) In Düsseldorf, NW we then got a Kaiserstraße (Emperor Street, rue de l&#039;Empereur) that was named - no, not after some post-1871 Prussian-German emperor but Napoleon Bonaparte! And it still has that name ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
