 	Jewish Emancipation
	</div>
 
 The emancipation of the Jews in Europe constitutes a historical process that lasted several centuries. Its roots reach back into the Age of Mercantilism and the Enlightenment but its completion in legal terms was only achieved in the late 19th century. Progress varied over time, depending on whether Sephardic or Ashkenazi communities were concerned, whether developed societal structures and an underlying liberal mood prevailed, as in the West, or agrarian-oriented forms with authoritarian governmental structures, as in the East. The emancipation of Jews was never completed in social terms.

 <h2>Origins and preconditions</h2>
The term emancipation<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_0">1</a> was originally used during the early 19th century in association with the liberation of Jews from ghetto life.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_2">2</a> <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/34457918" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Heinrich Heine (1797&#8211;1856)">Heinrich Heine (1797&#8211;1856)</a> spoke of it as one of the first in 1828:
<blockquote>Was ist ... diese gro&#223;e Aufgabe unserer Zeit? Es ist die Emanzipation. Nicht blo&#223; die der Irl&#228;nder, Griechen, Frankfurter Juden, Westindischen, Schwarzen und dergleichen gedr&#252;ckten Volkes, sondern es ist die Emanzipation der ganzen Welt, absonderlich Europas, das m&#252;ndig geworden ist und sich jetzt losrei&#223;t von dem eisernen G&#228;ngelbande der Bevorrechteten der Aristokratie.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_4">3</a></blockquote>
This word &#8211; originally a Roman legal term for freeing slaves<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_6">4</a> &#8211; in this way came to refer to the social and legal release of disadvantaged groups from a state of bondage and, thus, became a fighting word of the bourgeoisie against the ruling aristocracy.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_8">5</a> Contemporary reform projects discussed in terms such as "naturalisation" and "civil improvement" were retroactively included. What was truly new, and for which the Heine quote stands here, was that Jewish emancipation was viewed as part of a Europe-wide development in which the bourgeois society would displace the premodern aristocratic society. Jews were not asked, as is claimed in the historical literature,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_10">6</a> to join the bourgeoisie but were in fact supposed to constitute it, as were many other disadvantaged groups.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_12">7</a>
Under the Ancien R&#233;gime, Jews, who were allotted to various protective relationships and could not participate in Christian corporations and governing institutions, were kept in a state of dependence across Europe under the influence of the theological doctrine of their inferior legal position. Insofar as they enjoyed autonomous rights, these were only granted to the extent to which they conformed to the interests of the rulers.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_14">8</a> After the Thirty Years' War, when epidemics and destruction led to new reflections in the interest of reconstruction, Jews everywhere became increasingly the focus of the authorities&#8217; attention with a view toward their "usefulness". The ideas of Cameralism, which desired to achieve an increase of state revenues by utilising all groups of the population and, consequently, the economic strength of the country,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_16">9</a> brought about a first "emancipation push" for Jews. Furthermore, the Physiocratic teachings of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/7428836" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Fran&#231;ois Quesnay (1694&#8211;1774)">Fran&#231;ois Quesnay (1694&#8211;1774)</a>, which had been spreading since the late 18th century, began to affect the situation of the Jews, since in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4079215-8">Western Europe</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_18">10</a>, too, the previously exclusive orientation of Jews to trades was condemned and a "productive" agricultural occupation was demanded for Jews.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_20">11</a>
The first tangible result of mercantilist utilitarian thinking was the resettlement of Jews in various towns and countries in which they were previously forbidden to stay &#8211; specifically in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4007955-7">Brandenburg</a> with <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4005728-8">Berlin</a> and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4022987-7">Halberstadt</a> under the <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/67256875/" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Frederick William of Brandenburg (1620&#8211;1688)">Great Elector (1620&#8211;1688)</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_22">12</a> but also at the instigation of the Lisbon Jew and Amsterdam Rabbi <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/64807689" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Menasse ben Israel (1604&#8211;1657) ">Menasse ben Israel (1604&#8211;1657)</a>, in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4014770-8">England</a> under <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/34498004" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Oliver Cromwell (1599&#8211;1658)">Oliver Cromwell (1599&#8211;1658)</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_24">13</a> The legal situation improved in these two countries almost at the same time: In <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4047194-9">Prussia </a>the General Ordinance (Generalreglement) came into force on 17 April 1750 under <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/12303200/" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title='Frederick II. "the Great" of Prussia (1712-1786)'>Friedrick II (1712&#8211;1786)</a>, which &#8211; though under very restrictive preconditions &#8211; envisioned a "general privileging" of (wealthy) Jews.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_26">14</a> In England, Parliament adopted the "Naturalization Bill" ("to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalised by Parliament") in 1753<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_28">15</a> &#8211; entirely in the spirit of the ideas presented by the Irish philosopher <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/66497400" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Toland (1670&#8211;1722)">John Toland (1670&#8211;1722)</a> in his Reasons for Naturalizing the Jews in Great Britain and Ireland of 1714.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_30">16</a> Although it was often cited as a model in the later emancipation discourse, this "Anglo-Saxon type" of Jewish emancipation<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_32">17</a> remained without influence on the emancipation legislation of the Continent, especially since the law was only partly followed and did not formally come into effect due to the resistance of the merchants.
The historical process of a "proto-emancipation" was strengthened by another Europe-wide intellectual movement. It became known in the world of Christian scholars as the <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/threads/models-and-stereotypes/the-versailles-model/peter-jones-enlightenment-philosophy" title="Enlightenment Philosophy">Enlightenment</a> and in the internal Jewish sphere as the <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/marie-schumacher-brunhes-enlightenment-jewish-style-the-haskalah-movement-in-europe" title="Enlightenment Jewish Style: The Haskalah Movement in Europe">Haskalah</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_34">18</a> Its principal concern was to lead Judaism out of the (supposed) intellectual-cultural ghetto situation.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_36">19</a> This was a problem because a reform was hardly conceivable in traditional Jewish understanding: There was no idea of an "innocent, pure past" from which Jews had removed themselves over time and that needed to be restored.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_38">20</a>
Against the backdrop of the Enlightenment in the late 18th century, gradually "a discourse friendly to Jews that refuted old prejudices and replaced them with tolerance between humans" developed.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_40">21</a> Where it became effective, the opening of traditional Judaism towards Christian culture in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4015701-5">Europe</a> was largely the work of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/19681378" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Moses Mendelssohn (1729&#8211;1786)">Moses Mendelssohn (1729&#8211;1786)</a><a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/mediainfo/moses-mendelssohn-172920131786" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Moses Mendelssohn (1729&#8211;1786)">[<img alt="Moses Mendelssohn (1729&#8211;1786) IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/haskalah-bilderordner/moses-mendelssohn-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Moses Mendelssohn (1729&#8211;1786) IMG">]</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_42">22</a> who, in contact with <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/9849550" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729&#8211;1781)">Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729&#8211;1781)</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_44">23</a> and reflecting the thought of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/82088490" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Immanuel Kant (1724&#8211;1804) ">Immanuel Kant (1724&#8211;1804)</a>, undertook first steps in reinterpreting the Jewish religion as a rational religion without giving up the old traditions.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_46">24</a> This was reserved for the representatives of the second generation of the Haskalah.

It became clear at the latest toward the end of the 18th century that the emancipation of the Jews would essentially remain confined to <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4039677-0">Central</a> and Western Europe.

By contrast, in the West, the emancipation of Jews resulted in the collapse of traditional Jewish society.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_60">31</a>
<h2>The "civil improvement" of Jews</h2>
Apart from the particular British development, which was barely noticed on the Continent, the emancipation of the Jews emanated from Central Europe, specifically in the discourse of princely officialdom, which had an interest in involving Jews in Christian-oriented society. Many officials who were involved as official commissioners in the country's Jewish corporations<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_1">32</a> became aware of Jewish culture, which was backward by the standards of the age, and attributed their misery to the policy of suppression by Christian authorities. The by far most influential comment on the subject was written by <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/12319604" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Christian Konrad Wilhelm von Dohm (1751&#8211;1820)">Christian Konrad Wilhelm von Dohm (1751&#8211;1820)</a><a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/mediainfo/christian-wilhelm-von-dohm-175120131820-en" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Christian Konrad Wilhelm von Dohm (1751&#8211;1820)">[<img alt="Christian Wilhelm von Dohm IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/judenemanzipation-bilderordner/christian-wilhelm-von-dohm-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Christian Wilhelm von Dohm IMG">]</a>, a Prussian official of the War Ministry, who in the years 1781 and 1783 published at the personal suggestion of Moses Mendelssohn a two-part treatise with the title &#220;ber die b&#252;rgerliche Verbesserung der Juden.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_3">33</a> It lent its name to the discourse among Christian and Jewish intellectuals with which they strove for a gradual adaptation of Jewish rights to those of the societal majority through education (enlightened-statist concept of Jewish emancipation).<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_5">34</a> The basic assumption was the thesis argued since Mercantilism and amplified by the Enlightenment "dass die Juden ebenso gut wie alle andre Menschen n&#252;tzliche Glieder der b&#252;rgerlichen Gesellschaft seyn k&#246;nnen".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_7">35</a> That Dohm was not altogether able to detach himself from the old traditions &#8211; and thus agreed with Mendelssohn &#8211; is evident from the following key quote:
<blockquote>Die Dr&#252;ckung, in der sie [die Juden] bisher gelebt, ist schuld, da&#223; sie in den Wissenschaften und sch&#246;nen K&#252;nsten nichts mehr gethan haben. ... Der moralische Charakter der Juden ist, so wie der aller anderen Menschen, der vollkommensten Ausbildung und der ungl&#252;cklichsten Verwilderung f&#228;hig, und der Einflu&#223; der &#228;u&#223;eren Lage ... hiebey nur zu sichtbar. Wenn man inde&#223; zugiebt, da&#223; die Juden in gewisser Absicht sittlich verderbt sind, so mu&#223; es doch auch dem unpartheyischen Beobachter einleuchten, da&#223; sie durch manche andere Vorz&#252;ge sich desto vortheilhafter auszeichnen.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_9">36</a></blockquote>
Dohm then presented his readers with "ideas, how the Jews could become happier and better members of civil society" in the form of a nine-point programme.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_11">37</a> For this purpose, he considered educational measures the best suited means for improving the social situation of Jews, which was to follow their legal equalisation while preserving autonomous community rights. Entirely in the spirit of the Physiocratic teachings, he recommended agrarian and "productive" artisanal occupation while turning them away from pawn brokerage. But Christian subjects, too, should be taught from their early youth that "Jews should be considered as their brothers and fellow humans who are attempting to find God's favour by another route".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_13">38</a>
Dohm's treatise, along with other contemporary reform pamphlets, sparked a lively discussion among the Enlightenment-inspired officialdom of the German states and at the princely courts on the extent of the special facilities allowed to Jews, including possible organisational changes.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_15">39</a> <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/92203246" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Honore-Gabriel de Riquetti de Mirabeau (1749&#8211;1791)">Count Mirabeau (1749&#8211;1791)</a>, who was a French secret agent in Berlin in 1786/1787, saw to it after an encounter with Dohm that his thoughts would also gain a foothold in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4018145-5">France</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_17">40</a> With his text published in 1787, Sur Moses Mendelssohn, sur la r&#233;forme politique des Juifs<a data-class="external-link" href="http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k41681h.image.r=Sur+Moses+Mendelssohn.f4.langEN" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Mirabeau, Sur Moses Mendelssohn, sur la r&#233;forme politique des Juifs; BNF, Gallica"><img alt="Sur Moses Mendelssohn Titelblatt IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/judenemanzipation-bilderordner/sur-moses-mendelssohn-titelblatt-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Sur Moses Mendelssohn Titelblatt IMG"></a>, he took up with reference to the English Naturalization Bill of 1753 the old idea of turning the Jews into useful citizens (citoyens utiles) in order to give them civil rights (les droits de citoyens). Even though the enlightened-statist concept of Jewish emancipation lost influence in France with Mirabeau's death, it nevertheless provided the impetus for the actual emancipation debate.

However, restrictions on practising religion remained for the time being and their legal status remained that of Protected Jews (Schutzjudentum). At least, they were permanently tolerated as "foreign kin in religion". Jews welcomed the changes and Herz Wessely recommended to his coreligionists that they abide by them.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_23">43</a>

Mirabeau's death in April 1791 deprived him of his most important ally.
The emancipation of the Jews was only achieved in the last session of the National Assembly on 27 September 1791 and only after the preceding demands for communal autonomy had been given up.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_37">50</a> A famous speech by the Parisian deputy <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/2461599" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Anne Antoine Jules Clermont-Tonnerre (1749&#8211;1830)">Anne Antoine Jules Clermont-Tonnerre (1749&#8211;1830) </a>in December 1789, in which he demanded as the consequence of the Declaration of Human Rights that emancipation could only be given to Jews as individuals but not to Jews as a community, had preceded it.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_39">51</a> They could form neither a corporation nor a class within the state but were to be individual citizens.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_41">52</a> Only when the Jews of Alsace and Lorraine waived all previous corporate rights and raised the prospect of a considerable financial redemption, and only after the deputy <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/100331232" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Michel Louis &#201;tienne Regnaud de Saint-Jean d'Ang&#233;ly (1761&#8211;1819)">Michel Louis &#201;tienne Regnaud de Saint-Jean d'Ang&#233;ly (1761&#8211;1819)</a> linked the existence of the Revolutionary Constitution to granting Jewish emancipation<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_43">53</a> did the Jews receive the Decree of Emancipation they had desired in vain for so long. This document stated, for example:
<blockquote>[The National Assembly] voids all previously issued decrees with regard to contractual determinations, clauses and exemptions relating to Jews by determining at the same time that the citizen's oath to be sworn by the Jews will be treated as a rejection of all privileges and special laws formerly granted in their favour.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_45">54</a></blockquote>

A letter to a Berlin merchant of the "Jewish nation" reprinted in the newspaper Vossische Zeitung in 1791 impressively demonstrates the Europe-wide effect of this declaration with which "all Jews of the French realm without exception or restriction, had been granted the rights of active citizens".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_47">55</a> The Decree even received an eschatological interpretation with a reference to the prophet Zephaniah. This enthusiasm was expressed in several fraternization celebrations between Jews and Christians.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_49">56</a>
Scholars have called the concept behind the French decree "liberal-revolutionary"<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_51">57</a> to show that the emancipation of the Jews was granted without prior service and immediately, but only within the context of the idea of a general citizenry of liberal character. However, <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/112854206" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Hanns G&#252;nther Reissner (1902&#8211;1977)">Hanns Rei&#223;ner (1902&#8211;1977)</a> in a paper barely noticed in historical scholarship saw that social issues of integration were by no means solved in this way. The Declaration of Emancipation of 1791 supposedly was "a gesture that does them [the deputies of the National Assembly] credit as human beings but was politically insufficient because the social question to be solved in Alsace was barely addressed".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_53">58</a> Therefore, the Decree of Emancipation was no more than an offer of reform, the implementation of which was left to social forces. The National Assembly did not approve and, because of its ideology geared toward the individual citizen, could not approve recognizing Jews as a social group with its own identity.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_55">59</a> At the latest, the Napoleonic decrees of 17 March 1808 (among them the notorious D&#233;cret Inf&#226;me), with which the freedom of movement and freedom of trade of Jews was cancelled,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_57">60</a> showed that the emancipation of Jews during the French Revolution had failed.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_59">61</a> Nevertheless, this idea, once born, radiated strongly in the territories of the perishing <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/2035457-5">Holy Roman Empire</a>. The Decree of Emancipation of 1791 set a historical process in motion through which Europe's Jews gradually escaped "their legal, ritual and social isolation" and, while losing their autonomy, received "an improved legal status and growing moral legitimacy".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_61">62</a>
<h2>Emancipation efforts to the Congress of Vienna</h2>
French revolutionary armies carried the ideas of Jewish emancipation of a revolutionary-liberal character into the states of the <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/2033949-5">Rhenian Federation</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_63">63</a> Gradually, most Central European states received emancipation laws that were based with varying degrees of faithfulness on the French model.

Other important emancipation laws of the Napoleonic period<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_84">78</a> were issued on 22 February 1813 by the Grand Duchy of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4281380-3">Mecklenburg-Schwerin</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_86">79</a> on 10 June 1813 by the Kingdom of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4005044-0">Bavaria</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_88">80</a> on 29 March 1814 by the Kingdom of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4010877-6">Denmark</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_90">81</a> and as late as 28 February 1815 by the Principality of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4118526-2">Schwarzburg-Sondershausen</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_92">82</a> They were all distinguished by following the ideas of the French emancipation of Jews in time but returning to the German model of "civil improvement" and, thus, the enlightened-statist concept.
<h2>Setbacks and advances in the Reactionary Period</h2>
Already in the Napoleonic period, there were signs of a "return of repressed attitudes";<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_94">83</a> as the ideas of the French Revolution spread by Napoleon's troops were received with growing reluctance after the defeat of the European powers by the Emperor in 1806. The assembly of princes at the Congress of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4066009-6">Vienna</a> in 1814/1815, which was guided by the idea of restoring the old order, was not able to reverse all progress in the equalization of Europe's Jews but the victory over Napoleon led to a change of tide in the world of European states.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_96">84</a> Dohm's "concept of merit", which only sought to grant Jews emancipation after they had provided advance service,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_98">85</a> was revalidated. However, it cannot be overlooked that many small Jewish communities persisted in a tradition of solidarity and, consequently, lacked interest in opening up to Christian society.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_100">86</a> The intention of Wilhelm von Humboldt to commit the Congress to emancipating Jews according to the Prussian model failed because the opposing forces were too strong. Even the minimal demand of fixing the status quo in writing, as envisioned by a preparatory committee for developing the federal constitution, failed.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_102">87</a> In the proposal developed by the delegates of Prussia and Austria, according to which "adherents of the [Jewish] faith... will receive the same rights as already granted in individual states of the Federation" (&#167; 16), the formulation "in individual states of the Federation" was replaced by the words "by individual states of the Federation" through the intervention of the senator of Bremen <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/54943861" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Johann Smidt (1773&#8211;1857) ">Johann Smidt (1773&#8211;1857)</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_104">88</a> Since the French state, and not the German states, had emancipated the Jews, this resulted in all emancipation decrees inspired by the French Revolution being considered obsolete. Even a few regulations granting Jews limited civil rights that were uninfluenced by it, as in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_106">89</a> were repealed or interpreted in a restrictive manner by differentiating between a (granted) state citizenship and a (refused) communal citizenship as, for example, in the Edict of Baden in 1809.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_108">90</a> Prussia not only refused Jews access to state service, as still envisioned in 1812, but the edict's validity was confined to the old provinces,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_110">91</a> with the consequence that in the newly acquired territories citizenship was completely denied to Jews or &#8211; as after 1833 in the province of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4046870-7">Posen </a>&#8211; granted as a right to be given upon individual application.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_112">92</a> Only the law passed on 23 July 1847 by the United Diet (Vereinigter Landtag) "&#252;ber die Verh&#228;ltnisse der Juden"<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_114">93</a> recognized (with the exception of the Province of Posen) equal rights for all Prussian Jews according to the Edict of 1812. However, it explicitly excluded Jews from performing sovereign duties.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_116">94</a> The D&#233;cret Inf&#226;me of 17 March 1808, which still applied in Prussian territories on the left bank of the Rhine, was finally repealed.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_118">95</a>
Other states of the German Federation, among them the Grand Duchy of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4072471-2">Hesse</a>, made the same distinction Prussia did: The constitution of 17 December 1820 only envisioned granting citizenship to individuals, though the municipal regulation of 9 July 1821 at least permitted municipal citizenship (Ortsb&#252;rgerrecht).<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_120">96</a> This system of "citizenship on application" (B&#252;rgerrecht auf Antrag) in its various manifestations became the prevailing principle among the states of the German Federation.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_122">97</a> The Electorate of Hesse occupied a special position. The Ordinance of 14 May 1816 granted Jews civil rights on application (next to which the old Protected Jewry remained),<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_124">98</a> but with the Law of 29 October 1833 they essentially enjoyed the same rights as the Christian subjects &#8211; though excepting rights based on religion and excluding "peddlers" (Noth&#228;ndler, door-to-door salesmen).<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_126">99</a> The kingdom of Bavaria upheld the status quo of its Jewish edict of 1813 and also introduced it in its newly acquired territories, the Grand Duchy of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4120102-4">W&#252;rzburg </a>and the Principality of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4230848-3">Aschaffenburg</a>, with the Law of 5 December 1816.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_128">100</a> Jews in the Kingdom of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4094703-8">Hanover</a> received civil rights in 1842.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_130">101</a>
The situation was not much different in the European states outside the German Federation. A petition presented in April 1830 for introducing citizenship rights for English Jews intended to grant them the same emancipation given to Catholics in 1829 but was rejected by the British Parliament.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_132">102</a> After the retreat of the French, the old order was for most part restored in the Italian territories. This applied particularly to territories that had become Austrian, specifically <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4062510-2">Venetia </a>and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4036294-2">Lombardy</a>, but especially to the <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4114201-9">Papal State</a>, in which <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/88846822" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Pope Leo XII (1760&#8211;1829)">Pope Leo XII (1760&#8211;1829)</a> ghettoized Jews again and subjected them to the jurisdiction of the Inquisition.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_134">103</a> Only the Duchy of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4283585-9">Parma </a>and the Grand Duchy of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4119667-3">Tuscany</a> stayed the course with the emancipation laws of the Napoleonic period.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_136">104</a> In France itself, at least the discriminating oath more judaico was abolished in court proceedings in 1846, on application by the later justice minister <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/64031475" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Adolphe Cr&#233;mieux (1796&#8211;1880) ">Adolphe Cr&#233;mieux (1796&#8211;1880)</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_138">105</a> after the Kingdom of Denmark led the way in 1843.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_140">106</a> In <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4076899-5">Russia</a> under <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/54414260" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Nicholas I. of Russia (1796&#8211;1855)">Tsar Nicolas I (1796&#8211;1855)</a> grave repressive measures were implemented, among which the Cantonist Decrees<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_142">107</a> with their obvious intention of forcibly converting all Jews were the most intrusive.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_144">108</a>
Against the background of the conservative idea of a "Christian State", theoretically founded especially by the baptized Jew <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/8180478" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Friedrich Julius Stahl (1802&#8211;1861)">Friedrich Julius Stahl (1802&#8211;1861)</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_71">109</a> the discourse on the equality of Jews went on the defensive. It is to the credit of individuals such as the Hamburg publisher <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/8182996" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Gabriel Riesser (1806&#8211;1863)">Gabriel Riesser (1806&#8211;1863)</a><a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/mediainfo/gabriel-riesser-180620131863" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Gabriel Riesser (1806&#8211;1863)">[<img alt="Gabriel Riesser (1806&#8211;1863) IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/judenemanzipation-bilderordner/gabriel-riesser-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Gabriel Riesser (1806&#8211;1863) IMG">]</a>that the "Jewish question" remained active and a gradual shift in awareness in favour of Jewish emancipation came about.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_73">110</a> In Russia it was Rabbi <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/15534674" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Max Lilienthal (1815&#8211;1882) ">Dr. Max Lilienthal (1815&#8211;1882)</a><a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/mediainfo/max-lilienthal-181520131882-en" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Max Lilienthal (1815&#8211;1882)">[<img alt="Max Lilienthal (1815&#8211;1882) IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/judenemanzipation-bilderordner/max-lilenthal-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Max Lilienthal (1815&#8211;1882) IMG">]</a>of Munich, who on behalf of the open-minded Minister for Popular Enlightenment, <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/41974057" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Sergej Semenovi&#269; Uvarov (1785&#8211;1855)">Count Sergey Uvarov (1786&#8211;1855)</a>, achieved an improvement of the education system for Jews in the 1840s and was able to implement numerous individual reforms until his dismissal in 1845.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_75">111</a>
<h2>The Revolution of 1848 and its consequences</h2>
The actual impetus for the definitive emancipation of Jews in the sense of the ideas of the French Revolution was brought about across Europe by the <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/de/threads/europaeische-medien/europaeische-medienereignisse/1848er-revolution" title="1848er Revolution">Revolution of 1848</a> &#8211; despite the fact that the constitutional reform associated with it initially failed.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_77">112</a> Gabriel Riesser, the liberal Hamburg delegate to the Frankfurt National Assembly, lit the spark for a constitutional emancipation of Jews with his famous speech of 29 August 1848.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_79">113</a> His argument that the demand for general freedom and equality must necessarily include Jews, whose religion was to be considered a private matter, convinced the majority of delegates. In December of that year, the "Fundamental Rights of the German People" were adopted, of which &#167; 16 determined:
<blockquote>Durch das religi&#246;se Bekenntnis wird der Genu&#223; der b&#252;rgerlichen und staatsb&#252;rgerlichen Rechte weder bedingt noch beschr&#228;nkt. Den staatsb&#252;rgerlichen Pflichten darf dasselbe keinen Abbruch tun.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_81">114</a></blockquote>
Thus, Jews had been allowed a legal claim to an equal stake in all rights due to Christians, which was equivalent to comprehensive legal emancipation. Immediately after the definitive constitution proclaimed in March 1849 in St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt and in the context of a sustained revolutionary mood, a total of 20 states of the German Federation passed similar equalization laws. These were the three Anhalt states as well as <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4205304-3">Brunswick</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4008135-7">Bremen</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4018118-2">Frankfurt am Main</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4023118-5">Hamburg</a>, Hanover, Hesse-Darmstadt, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4095174-1">Hesse-Homburg</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/112347-6">Holstein</a>, the Electorate of Hesse,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_83">115</a> <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4052141-2">Schaumburg-Lippe</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4036483-5">L&#252;beck</a>, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4041265-9">Nassau</a>,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_85">116</a> <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4043465-5">Oldenburg</a>, Prussia, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4064376-1">Waldeck-Pyrmont</a> and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4067029-6">W&#252;rttemberg</a>. There were minor restrictions in the other states of the Federation, such as the limitation of citizenship rights to "Inlanders" in Schwarzburg-Sondershausen and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4051176-5">Saxony</a> or the restriction on municipal citizenship rights, as in Baden. Only Bavaria and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4099697-9">Lippe-Detmold</a> did not follow this trend. Thus, there was the justified hope that the emancipation of Jews would soon be completed.
With the revival of the Federal Diet in 1850 by <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4075613-0">Austria-Hungary</a>, there were new setbacks and in many places the laws passed in 1848/1849 were annulled. The Electorate of Hesse may serve as an example: Its constitution of 1852 annulled the law on religious freedom passed in October 1848 and determined instead:
<blockquote>Der Genu&#223; der b&#252;rgerlichen und staatsb&#252;rgerlichen Rechte ist von dem christlichen Glaubensbekenntnis abh&#228;ngig, vorbehaltlich derjenigen Ausnahmen, welche durch besondere Gesetze bestimmt sind.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_87">117</a></blockquote>
This restriction was supplemented by reintroducing the discrimination against "peddlers", which had been decreed in 1833.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_89">118</a>
The other states of the German Federation also reintroduced discriminating barriers. Of the 26 states that during the March Revolution of 1848 worked on or completed emancipation legislation, only five were willing to retain them fully: L&#252;beck, Brunswick, Nassau, Oldenburg and Hesse-Homburg. Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, the Kingdom of Saxony and the Grand Duchy of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4051194-7">Saxony-Weimar</a> at least retained equality limited to domestic Jews.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_91">119</a> Hamburg, Hesse-Darmstadt and Baden delayed the emancipation of Jews for the time being. The new constitution of 12 April 1852 pushed through by the conservative minister of state <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/15091559" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Ludwig Hassenpflug (1794&#8211;1862) ">Ludwig Hassenpflug (1794&#8211;1862)</a> made the Christian faith a precondition for equality.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_93">120</a> This also applied to Austria-Hungary, where the Imperial Decree of October 1853 revoked equalization "bis zur definitiven Regelung der staatsb&#252;rgerlichen Verh&#228;ltnisse der israelitischen Bev&#246;lkerung".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_95">121</a> However, the greater number of Jews living within the German Federation (in Prussia, Electorate Hesse, Hanover, W&#252;rttemberg, Holstein, Schaumburg-Lippe, Waldeck-Pyrmont and Mecklenburg) lost any claim to equality.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_97">122</a>
Over the long run, a policy of legal exclusion that made Jews second-class citizens or even protected subjects with diminished rights could not be continued.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_99">123</a> A spark to light the flame was a law that cancelled existing discrimination in 1858 after long Parliamentary debates and sustained resistance in the British Upper House. Jewish delegates were no longer to be forced to take a Christian oath to be able to take their seat in the Lower House.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_101">124</a> In the territories of the German Federation, the city states Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main took the first step in 1859 and 1864 by cancelling the emancipation-restricting articles.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_103">125</a> Furthermore, the discriminatory Jewish Oath was abolished, as in 1861 in the Duchy of Nassau.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_105">126</a> The Grand Duchy of Baden granted the complete emancipation of Jews in 1862 with a "Gesetz &#252;ber die b&#252;rgerliche Gleichstellung der Israeliten".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_107">127</a> Emancipation laws had been passed in almost all German states by the middle of the 1860s. Even the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1861, in association with lifting the trade restrictions on Jews and a reform of the old matriculation system (limits on admission), announced further reforms that raised hopes of complete emancipation.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_109">128</a>
It was due to the tireless public work of the Berlin publisher <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/39529223" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Ludwig Philippson (1811&#8211;1889) ">Ludwig Philippson (1811&#8211;1889)</a> but also the new balance of political power in the German Federation after the defeat of Austria-Hungary during the Austro-Prussian War that in the newly founded <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4042492-3">North German Federation</a> comprehensive Jewish emancipation was granted. After long parliamentary negotiations, the Prussian minister president <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/46772111" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Otto von Bismarck (1815&#8211;1898)">Otto Graf von Bismarck (1815&#8211;1898)</a>, the later Imperial chancellor, agreed to a legal initiative to this effect since he hoped to win over the liberal delegates with a minor concession. The "Law concerning the equality of the denominations with regard to civil and citizenship rights" (Gesetz betreffend die Gleichberechtigung der Konfessionen in b&#252;rgerlicher und staatsb&#252;rgerlicher Beziehung) of 3 July 1869 included the following words:
<blockquote>Wir Wilhelm ... K&#246;nig von Preu&#223;en, verordnen im Namen des Norddeutschen Bundes ... was folgt: Alle noch bestehenden, aus der Verschiedenheit des religi&#246;sen Bekenntnisses hergeleiteten Beschr&#228;nkungen der b&#252;rgerlichen und staatsb&#252;rgerlichen Rechte werden hierdurch aufgehoben. Insbesondere soll die Bef&#228;higung zur Theilnahme an der Gemeinde- und Landesvertretung und zur Bekleidung &#246;ffentlicher &#196;mter vom religi&#246;sen Bekenntni&#223; unabh&#228;ngig sein.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_111">129</a></blockquote>
On 22 April 1871 this law was introduced in the entire territory of the new German empire and, thus, even in the Kingdom of Bavaria, which as the only state of the Federation had not yet introduced a law of this kind.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_113">130</a>
The process of emancipation was also completed in the other states of Central and Western Europe during the sixties and seventies of the 19th century. Legal equality was established in the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the new constitution of 1867. In <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4027833-5">Italy</a>, the emancipation process was also associated with the new constitution of the unified state. Starting in 1859, the emancipation of Jews was extended in steps in the Kingdom of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4051687-8">Piemont-Sardinia</a>, equality was also achieved in unified Italy starting in 1861 and in 1866 in the new Italian Province of Venetia.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_115">131</a> In 1871 the equality of Jews was introduced in the territory of the Papal State, which had then become Italian.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_117">132</a> <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4053881-3">Switzerland</a>, as the last Central European state, followed with its Federal Constitution of 1874. This must only be qualified by the fact that the Federal Council (Bundesrat) needed to enforce equality in the cantons up to 1879 to validate the constitution.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_119">133</a> The Kingdoms of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4042640-3">Norway</a> and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4077258-5">Sweden</a>, which were united in personal union, as the only Central and North European countries, did not have a one-time emancipation decree because the Jews in these two countries had been granted individual civil rights in stages since 1782. Starting from 1891, state offices were also open to them, with which the development of Jewish emancipation had been completed in these countries.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_121">134</a> In France, no further legal steps were required for the equality of Jews because Napoleon's restrictive edicts of 17 March 1808 had already been abolished with the end of his rule.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_123">135</a>
The problems in Tsarist Russia were far greater but change came about during the "spring days" under <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/51698037" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Alexander II. of Russia (1818&#8211;1881)">Tsar Alexander II (1818&#8211;1881)</a>, a known liberal who ascended in 1855.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_125">136</a> He instituted a commission immediately at the start of his reign with the objective of "&#8230;s&#228;mtliche in Bezug auf die Juden bestehenden Bestimmungen [zu &#252;berpr&#252;fen], um sie dem allgemeinen Zweck anzupassen, dieses Volk in die angestammte Bev&#246;lkerung einzugliedern, soweit der sittliche Zustand der Juden dies erlaubt". The result of these efforts was the cancellation of the discriminating Cantonist Decrees of 1856. Jews were then successively admitted to public offices and granted for the most part freedom of residency and freedom of trade. In Congress Poland, which then belonged to Russia, Jews received further rights in 1862, such as the right to acquire property and to reside in towns. However, these rights became obsolete again after the Polish uprising of 1863.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_127">137</a> The murder of the "Tsar Liberator" Alexander in 1881 abruptly ended this liberal era: The subsequent anti-Semitic pogroms resulted in a discontinuation of emancipation efforts for the time being and, simultaneously, the genesis of <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/threads/transnational-movements-and-organisations/international-organisations-and-congresses/kerstin-armborst-weihs-the-formation-of-the-jewish-national-movement-through-transnational-exchange-zionism-in-europe-up-to-the-first-world-war-1914" title="The Formation of the Jewish National Movement Through Transnational Exchange: Zionism in Europe up to the First World War">Zionism</a>, which has cast a long shadow.
The completion of this development on a pan-European level was the treaty designed by Bismarck at the Berlin Congress of 1878. The representatives of the great European powers had gathered in Berlin at the invitation of the German imperial chancellor to discuss the situation after the Russo-Turkish War. Representatives of the Jewish communities of Romania, who had come under pressure from the openly anti-Jewish policy of their government, turned to the Congress with the plea to force the Romanian government to be tolerant toward Jews. Article 44 of the Treaty was formulated following up on a French suggestion, to make the diplomatic recognition of the three new Balkan states of <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4008866-2">Bulgaria</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4054598-2">Serbia</a> and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4050939-4">Romania</a> dependent on a special declaration of the equality of Jews:
<blockquote>Die Verschiedenheit der Religionen und Bekenntnisse darf nirgends und niemand gegen&#252;ber als ein Grund der Ausschlie&#223;ung und Unf&#228;higkeit geltend gemacht werden in allen denjenigen F&#228;llen, in denen es sich um den Genu&#223; von b&#252;rgerlichen und staatsb&#252;rgerlichen Rechten, um die Zulassung zu &#246;ffentlichen &#196;mtern und Ehrenstellen und um die Aus&#252;bung der verschiedenen Handwerke und Gewerbe handelt.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_129">138</a></blockquote>
Thus, the concept of emancipation was for the first time included in a treaty binding under international law at the European level. The equality of Jews with the Christian citizens of the European states thus became the rule after the model of the German imperial constitution. Merely the Tsarist empire of Russia did not live up to the resulting obligations in this time period.
Although Jews were able to achieve legal equality during the seventies and eighties of the 19th century in almost all Christian European states<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_131">139</a> in which they lived,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_133">140</a> social emancipation and, thus, their integration into the respective national populations had by no means occurred.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_135">141</a> It is one of the contradictions of emancipation history that the liberal-revolutionary model of individual equality of the revolutionary law of 1791, which went furthest, had the least chance of implementation because it did not account for the social sensitivities of Jews or Christians and disregarded the need for solidarising community. By contrast, the enlightened-statist model, which assumed the objective of the "civil improvement of Jews" and only granted equality successively and after the acquisition of merit, dominated discourse and legislation outside of France. That the French model nevertheless prevailed in the liberal model of the Constitution of St. Paul's Church, the Imperial Constitution of 1871 and, finally, the Congress of Berlin in 1878 owed a great deal in the end to the political experience collected over almost a century. Modern <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/en/threads/transnational-movements-and-organisations/international-social-movements/samuel-salzborn-antisemitism" title="Antisemitism">anti-Semitism</a> picked up precisely where the emancipation of the Jews had been granted completely and without conditions &#8211; this does not come as a surprise against the background of the controversies in the 19th century over the extent of Jewish emancipation.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/european-networks/jewish-networks/friedrich-battenberg-jewish-emancipation-in-the-18th-and-19th-centuries#InsertNoteID_137">142</a>

Discussing this 'dark side of Jewish emancipation' was not possible in this article for heuristic reasons. In the same manner, the conservative theory of the "Christian state", which stalled progress in Jewish emancipation for a long time, could not be discussed here either. I wish to expressly thank Dr. Saskia Rohde (Hamburg) for her valuable comments.</li>
