Birth:

     Heinrich's family was living in the Osterbeck parish of Westerkappeln at the time of his birth. During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Westerkappeln, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire.
     In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems).
     After Napoleon's defeat, Westerkappeln found itself part of the Province of Westphalia in the Kingdom of Prussia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen).
