Saxe-Lauenburg gained de jure sovereignty at the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire on 6 August 1806, but was de facto submitted to occupations, liberation, reoccupation, and annexation during the Napoleonic Wars in 1803, 1805, 1806 and 1807. However, the House of Hanover maintained its claim until the Congress of Vienna in 1814, with the House of Oldenburg then succeeding.

William

In 1876 the Saxe-Lauenburgian Estates of the Realm and Duke William decided to give up Saxe-Lauenburg’s statehood. The duchy was thus merged as district Duchy of Lauenburg into the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein. In 1890, German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck was awarded the honorific title of Duke of Lauenberg, but he was never sovereign ruler of the territory.
