Grundlegender politischer Wandel
Anfängliche Sympathien seitens der Bonner Bevölkerung verscherzten sich die neuen Machthaber sehr schnell, indem sie rücksichtslose Requirierungen durchführten und die Bestände der Bonner Stadtkasse in das neue Papiergeld, den Assignaten, zu behördlich festgesetzten Kursen wechselten.
Die Wirtschaft kam durch diese Maßnahmen schnell zum Erliegen und viele Einwohner verließen das nunmehr verarmte Bonn, das während dieser Zeit zwanzig Prozent seiner Bevölkerung einbüßte.

The initial support on the part of the Bonn population was quickly lost by the new rulers due to the fact they ruthlessly requisitioned things and exchanged the assets of the Bonn city treasury into the new paper money, the assignat, at exchange rates stipulated by the authorities.
The economy quickly came to a standstill due to these measures and a lot of residents now left the city of Bonn that had become impoverished, and which lost twenty per cent of its population in this period.
