About this book

This study analyses the German-Jewish symbiosis as a historical phenomenon that made a significant contribution to Germany's cultural flowering in connection with the emergence of an educated middle-class (Bildungsbürgertum) around 1800. It began when German culture had to be 'invented' in order to free itself from the supremacy of French culture. In political, cultural, and linguistic terms Germany had nothing that could truly be called 'national', and precisely the same applied to the Jews as well. The educated middle-classes were kept remote from political life by the German Sonderweg and did not engage with anti-Jewish tendencies. The study discusses the development of this symbiosis up to its dissolution in a European framework, on the one hand, and as a result of Zionism on the other.

Reviews

"Dieses gut lesbare Buch mit seinem neuartigen Zugang zur Thematik der deutsch-jüdischen Beziehungen ist zugleich ein sehr gelehrtes Kompendium, ein Werk, das sowohl zum Nachdenken als auch zum Nachschlagen anregt und an dem man nicht wird vorbeigehen können."
Elvira Grözinger in: PaRDeS 13/2007

"Dieses Buch ist Pflichtlektüre für alle, die das Phänomen der deutsch-jüdischen Symbiose innerhalb der deutschen Geistesgeschichte begreifen möchten."
Deborah Vietor-Engländer in: Germanistik Nr. 48, 1-2/2007

"Einschlägige kritische Stimmen am Rande des Mainstreams historischer Forschung wiederentdeckt und für die Neu-Betrachtung der Geschichte fruchtbar gemacht zu haben, ist das Verdienst dieser Studie."
M. Theresia Wittemann in: Stifter Jahrbuch, 2007
