Die Feuchtwangers

Sie waren Stammgäste im Hofbräuhaus, fühlten sich in den Alpen wie zu Hause, liebten die Theater und Museen der Stadt, pflegten die landesübliche Feindschaft gegenüber Preußen und in "unserem München" galt ihnen auch der Berliner Jude als Zugereister. Über drei Generationen verband die Familie Feuchtwanger eine strenge jüdische Orthodoxie mit einer ausgeprägt bayerisch-barocken Lebensweise. Auch ihr berühmtester Sproß, der Schriftsteller Lion Feuchtwanger, hielt - ob in Berlin, Südfrankreich oder Kalifornien - sowohl an der Münchner Mundart als auch an einem selbstbewußten Judentum fest. Heike Specht zeichnet den Weg einer jüdischen Familie in Deutschland durch das 19. und 20. Jahrhundert nach: die wirtschaftliche Etablierung, ihr Wirken in der jüdischen Gemeinde, der Erste Weltkrieg, die Revolution, die "Goldenen Zwanziger", die Jahre der Diskriminierung und Verfolgung im Nationalsozialismus und schließlich Emigration und Flucht. Die Geschichte der Feuchtwangers ist aber auch eine Geschichte von Familienzusammenhalt und Familienzwist, von arrangierten Ehen und leidenschaftlicher Liebe, von glänzenden Erfolgen und bitteren Niederlagen.

Abraham A. Fraenkel was a world-renowned mathematician in pre–Second World War Germany, whose work on set theory was fundamental to the development of modern mathematics. A friend of Albert Einstein, he knew many of the era’s acclaimed mathematicians personally. He moved to Israel (then Palestine under the British Mandate) in the early 1930s. In his autobiography Fraenkel describes his early years growing up as an Orthodox Jew in Germany and his development as a mathematician at the beginning of the twentieth century. ​This memoir, originally written in German in the 1960s, has now been translated into English, with an additional chapter covering the period from 1933 until his death in...

Von "jüdischem Optimismus" und "unausbleiblicher Enttäuschung"

Anhand der internen und öffentlichen Kommunikation deutsch-jüdischer Vereine untersucht Anna Ullrich, wie gesellschaftlicher Antisemitismus in diesen Organisationen wahrgenommen, bewertet und bewältigt wurde. Erstmals werden dabei die Verhaltens- und Gefühlsempfehlungen, welche die Vereine ihren Mitgliedern anboten, systematisch herausgearbeitet und deren langfristige Entwicklung zwischen Erstem Weltkrieg und den ersten Jahren des Nationalsozialismus in die Analyse miteinbezogen. Aus der Vielzahl an Ratschlägen, Hinweisen, Warnungen, Empfehlungen und Aufforderungen werden die vielfältigen Diskussionen rekonstruiert, die immer wieder um die Frage nach einem adäquaten Umgang mit antisemitischen Erfahrungen in Deutschland kreisten. So ermöglicht die Studie eine differenzierte Betrachtung der vereinsinternen Aushandlungsprozesse und gibt neue Einblicke in das Verhältnis von jüdischen und nichtjüdischen Deutschen im Untersuchungszeitraum.

On the basis of postcolonial theory, this study shows how Jewish scholars, in the controversies about the “essence” of Judaism and Christianity at the beginning of the 20th century, challenged the intellectual hegemony of Liberal Protestantism in Germany. By carefully examining the impact of the political circumstances—the loss of relevance of political liberalism, the spreading of antisemitism, and the crisis of Jewish identity in an age of contested emancipation and assimilation—on the theological discourse, it provides a critical analysis of anti-Jewish implications of Protestant theology in the 19th and 20th centuries and discusses the function of Jewish polemics against Protestant distortions of Jewish history, religion and culture. Furthermore, it develops important guidelines for a contemporary interdisciplinary relationship between Jewish Studies and Christian theology.

The Unfree Professions

How could educated professionals have supported the Nazi movement and collaborated with Hitler's inhuman policies? Jarausch examines this fascinating and largely unexplored subject, tracing the social, ideological, and political development of three representative German professions--law, teaching, and engineering--from the late Empire to the early Federal Republic. Based on a reformulated professionalization theory and on authoritative statistics, he describes professional prosperity and prestige in the Second Reich and analyzes the social crisis brought on by hyperinflation, stabilization, and Depression during the chaotic Weimar years. Threatened with the loss of livelihood and frightened...

First published in 1999, this book focuses on the new role of private law in late modernity. It analyses the pressures for changes in this area of law due to the present processes of privatisation and marketisation. The perspective is welfarist: in what ways and to what extent can the welfare state expectations of the citizens be defended through private law mechanisms when state-offered security is diminishing? Which alternatives are available when developing private law? The questions are discussed against the background of theories concerning important features of late modern society, for example consumerism, risk, information, globalisation and fragmentation. Several fields of private law are analysed, such as private law theory, tort and liability law, contract law and credit law as well as access to justice issues. The approach is comparative, including analyses of both common law and continental law.
