PEER-REVIEWED

European-Jewish Studies reflect the interdisciplinary network and competence of the “Centre for Jewish Studies Berlin and Brandenburg” which was founded in 2011. The Centre gathers together the most important institutions working on Jewish studies in the region – including the relevant universities and establishments in Berlin and Potsdam. The interdisciplinary character of the series places particular emphasis on the way in which history, the humanities and cultural science approach the subject, as well as on fundamental intellectual, political and religious questions that inspire Jewish life and thinking today, and have influenced it in the past.

The CONTROVERSIES deal with fundamental debates that are of contemporary and journalistic relevance.
The EDITIONS present new editions of works by outstanding Jewish authors.
The CONTRIBUTIONS publish excellent monographs on the entire spectrum of themes from Jewish studies.

This series provides an interdisciplinary forum for the excellent work of the Centre for Jewish Studies, a new umbrella group including almost all the organizations in the Berlin - Brandenburg area of Germany concerned with this topic.
The networked knowledge relating to Jewish studies in this region is unique.

Zur Rezeption Walter Christallers im Kontext von Sharonplan und "Generalplan Ost"

Joachim Nicolas Trezib

Volume 3 in this series

Walter Christaller’s “Central Place Theory” became one of the fundamental concepts in modern planning. Its traces were evident in Israel’s “Sharon Plan” as well as in the National Socialist “Masterplan for the East.” Central Place Theory aimed at optimizing the function of economic factors as well as the spatial distribution of the population. Joachim Trezib examines the reception of this theory and the background for an unexpected parallelism.

Pioneers of Zionism: Hess, Pinsker, Rülf

Messianism, Settlement Policy, and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Julius H. Schoeps

Volume 2 in this series

The emerging Jewish national consciousness in Europe toward the end of the 19th century claims many spiritual fathers, some of which have been seriously underestimated so far. Zionist intellectuals such as Moses Hess, Leon Pinsker and Isaac Rülf were already committed to the self-liberation of the Jewish people long before Theodor Herzl. Their experiences and observations brought them to believe that the emancipation and integration of Jews were not realistically possible in Europe. Instead, they began to think in national and territorial terms. The author explores the question as to what extent religious messianism influenced the ideas of these men and how this reflects in today's collective Israeli consciousness. In a comprehensive epilogue, Julius H. Schoeps critically correlates ideas of messianic salvation, Zionist pioneer ideals, the settler's movement before and after 1967, and the unsolved conflict between Israelis and Palestinians which has been lasting for over 100 years.

Islamophobie und Antisemitismus – ein umstrittener Vergleich

Gideon Botsch, Olaf Glöckner, Christoph Kopke, Michael Spieker

Volume 1 in this series

Are cartoons of Mohammed today's anti-Semitic postcards? Are the protests against the construction of mosques in German towns comparable with the cries of "Jews out!" during the German Empire? Following a heated public debate, comparisons between present hostility to Islam and traditional forms of anti-Semitism are also occupying political scientists, religious scholars and contemporary historians. Certainly in the future there will also be a need for a comparative analysis of the mechanisms of the stigmatisation and ostracism of minorities. This volume deals with the backgrounds to old-new hostile stereotypes of Jews and Muslims in Germany, and presents the views of media experts and members of both minorities.
