MANNHEIM

• Juden in Mannheim

Mit der zweiten Stadtgründung nach dem 30-jährigen Krieg beginnt auch die jüdische Geschichte Mannheims. Eine kurfürst-liche Konzession" von 1660 lädt Juden zur Ansiedlung in die Rhein-Neckar-Stadt ein. Mit dem Rechtsstatus von „Schutzbürgern genießen die Juden in Mannheim - gemessen an den Zeitverhältnissen - weitgehende Freiheiten. In der Residenzzeit des 18. Jahrhun-derts verdoppelt sich ihre Zahl von rund 550 auf fast 1 200, gleichzeitig sinkt jedoch ihr Bevölkerungsanteil von über 10 auf rund 5 Prozent. Im 19. Jahrhundert leisten jüdische Bankiers und Kaufleute wesent-liche Beiträge zum Aufschwung Mannheims als Handels- und Industriestadt. An der bürgerlichen Emanzipationsbewegung sind Juden maßgeblich beteiligt. Mit ihrer staatsbürgerlichen Gleichstellung geht ein Assimilationsprozess einher, der infolge der ostjüdischen Zuwanderung in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts nur wenig abgebremst wird.

Gliederung der Mannheimer Stadtpunkte:

• Festung. Planstadt - Residenz
• Migration、Toleranz - Verfolgung
• Bürgertum - Handel - Industrie
• Demokratie - Arbeiterbewegung、Widerstand
• Lebendige Stadt. Geschundene Stadt. Moderne Großstadt

CITY POINTS
MANNHEIM’S LOCAL HISTORY

[Emblem of Mannheim]
MANNHEIM

• Jews in Mannheim

Mannheim’s Jewish history begins with the second founding of the city after the Thirty Years’ War. An electoral concession from 1660 invited Jews to settle in the Rhine-Neckar city. With the legal status of "protected citizens," Jews in Mannheim enjoyed extensive freedoms—considering the circumstances of the time. During the Residence period of the 18th century, their number doubled from around 550 to almost 1,200, but at the same time, their share of the population declined from over 10 percent to around 5 percent. In the 19th century, Jewish bankers and merchants made significant contributions to Mannheim’s rise as a commercial and industrial city. Jews played a key role in the civic emancipation movement. Their equal citizenship was accompanied by a process of assimilation, which was only slightly slowed by the immigration of Eastern European Jews in the first decades of the 20th century.

Structure of Mannheim’s city points:

• Fortress. Planned city - Residence
• Migration, Tolerance - Persecution
• Bourgeoisie - Trade - Industry
• Democracy - Labor Movement, Resistance
• Vibrant City. Battered City. Modern Metropolis
