JewishEncyclopedia.com - ALTONA: The Hamburg Jews, who had no such privilege, turned their activities to Altona; and the growth of the Altona whale-fishery in the eighteenth century was due largely to their efforts. In Altona itself there are, side by side, the old German-Jewish cemetery, in which Chief Rabbi Ettlinger was the last person interred, and the very interesting cemetery of the Portuguese Jews of Hamburg, which was purchased in 1611 and closed in 1871 (see illustration). The community of Altona possesses a synagogue, erected after the fire of 1713; a lecture-hall, founded by Ḥakam Ẓebi; an orphan asylum; a home for the aged; a school for boys and girls; and a society for the promotion of Jewish knowledge. www.jewishencyclopedia.com /view.jsp?artid=1333&letter=A   (487 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hamburg Externally, the decline of Hamburg was indicated by the separation from it of the See of Lund, which became the metropolitan of the entire Germanic North. Despite temporary improvements, the condition of Hamburg on the whole grew worse from year to year, and at last the popular discontent with the clergy became so great that the Reformation, generally accepted by the cities, was here welcomed with eagerness. His death was followed by a disputed election, the Hamburg chapter supporting the claims of Burkhard of Stumpenhusen, prior of the cathedral, while the Bremen chapter chose for bishop Waldemar of Schleswig. www.newadvent.org /cathen/07121b.htm   (2100 words)

Buildings Integral to the Former Life and/or Persecution of Jews in Hamburg The significance of the Altona community is to be seen in its 11 prayer halls in Hamburg, one being in the house of Seligman Berend Salomon who donated the plot for the former synagogue in the former Elbstraße, today Neanderstraße. The former Synagogue of the Altona Community in Hamburg was built by the architect Ernst Georg Sonnin in 1788/89. Following the dissolution of the association of the "triple Jewish community" of Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek (AHW) in 1812 it became the main synagogue of the Deutsch-Israelitische Gemeinde (German Israelite Community) in Hamburg. www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de /rz3a035/neanderstrasse.html   (837 words)

Review: Obedient Heretics. Mennonite Identities in Lutheran Hamburg and Altona during the Confessional Age The Mennonites of Hamburg and Altona were allied to the Zonist camp, partly as a result of the Dompelaar schism and partly because of Roosen’s leadership. Altona presents a further example of such practical toleration of religious difference, where a majority Lutheran community did not feel threatened by the presence of small minority groups, and reinforces suggestions that communal religious violence in the post-Reformation period often represents above all a failure in the operation of law in early modern states. The ruling count over Altona had invited the Mennonites to settle there in the early seventeenth century, and the privileges offered to Mennonites in the town were maintained when in 1641 the territory was inherited by Christian IV of Denmark. www.history.ac.uk /reviews/paper/murdockG.html   (2278 words)

Rescue out of reach Even though the Portuguese in Hamburg no longer had any connection to Portugal or Spain, there were still some Sephardic Jews from the Azores and North Africa (particularly from Morocco) who settled in Hamburg and Altona in the 19th century. In the Jewish community in Hamburg, which was a unique model of inter-Jewish tolerance, the Portuguese played an unimportant role in the 20th century, not only with regard to their numbers but also economically and socially. Whether the Portuguese Jews in Hamburg sent Sealtiel to Amsterdam as their representative or whether he did not have a mandate to speak is not absolutely clear, as the community records book ends in 1937 with Joseph Sealtiel's election as last Parnas (President). www.sefarad.org /publication/lm/034/3.html   (3194 words)

H-Net Review: Kathryn A. Edwards on Obedient Heretics: Mennonite Identities in Lutheran Hamburg and Altona during the Confessional Age Although Hamburg was a Lutheran stronghold, Mennonites began settling there in the later sixteenth century, and in 1601 Count Ernst von Schauenberg granted privileges to Mennonites who moved to neighboring Altona, a policy designed to attract businessmen, and their tax revenues, away from Hamburg. Much of the first three chapters is devoted to the immigration of Mennonites into the region, their establishment in Hamburg and Altona, their financial and professional resources, their controversies (particularly over ceremonies), and the personal and marital relationships among leading families in the community. Their numbers grew in both Hamburg and Altona during the seventeenth century because of the benign political environment, good economic conditions, and wartime destruction in other territories. www.h-net.msu.edu /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=120781077386317   (1779 words)
