Abstract:
Discusses the situation of the Jews in Frankfurt from ca. 1150 until 1500. Jews were subjected to special taxes and were victims of fierce pogroms in 1241 and 1349; the latter led to the destruction of the community. In 1360 the Jews received residence permits for three years which could be extended. By order of Frederick III in 1442 and 1458, the city council in 1460 designated a special area for the Jews because their houses and synagogue were too close to the church. Sketches the issuance of various regulations restricting contacts between Christians and Jews. Describes the role of the Church in the society's anti-Jewish attitude, as it promoted the institution of the yellow badge and preached against Jews and usury. Stresses the competition for authority over the Jews between the king and the city council, which both imposed taxes.
