Juden - Burger - Deutsche: Zu Vielfalt Und Grenzen 1800-1933

English summary: In the 19th century, it was not only the middle-class in general but also a specifically Jewish middle-class which emerged. Using the social, cultural and art history perspectives as their basis, the authors of this volume examine the dissimilarities and the similarities of these two middle-class societies. They focus on the characteristics of the Jewish middle-class, its social, ideological, religious and private forms. What specific forms of socialization did the Jewish middle-class have, and what was its significance as far as the development of a general middle-class in Germany is concerned? The essays in this volume document how diverse the Jewish middle-class actually was and at the same time show the limiting factors which this minority came up against in Germany.

German description: Im 19. Jahrhundert bildete sich zum einen eine burgerliche und zum anderen eine spezifisch judische burgerliche Gesellschaft heraus. Die Autoren dieses Bandes beleuchten die Besonderheiten, aber auch die Ubereinstimmungen dieses Nebeneinanders aus sozial-, kultur- und kunstgeschichtlicher Perspektive.
