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).
