Abstract:
At the beginning of the 19th century, Bavaria experienced a significant increase in the Jewish population as a result of the acquisition of new territories, among them Swabia, with a Jewish population of 4,000. In 1813, the Bavarian parliament enacted the “Judenedikt”, which imposed strong restrictions on Jewish participation in political life, on residence rights, and on work permits. For Swabian Jews, who were used to living in a more tolerant society, the Bavarian legislation was a great setback. Moreover, this policy encouraged hostility toward Jews at administrative levels and in different strata of civil society. The traditional atmosphere of coexistence between Christians and Jews in Swabia was compromised and became poisoned. The “Judenedikt” of 1813 determined the legal and social status of the Jews until 1848, when the Bavarian parliament granted the Jews the right to vote and annulled other economic and social bans.
