Jewish law

Jewish law has been the abbreviation for the legislation of non- Jewish states in Europe that has largely been used since the Middle Ages with regard to the legal position of Jews .

Of particular importance were:

• the laws of the Middle Ages , e.g. the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215
• the legislation in states of the German Confederation in the 19th century, for example in Baden 1809 , Prussia 1812 , Bavaria 1813 , the law on the public relations of fellow Israelites from 1828 in the Kingdom of Württemberg or the Prussian Jewish Law of 1847
• the laws and ordinances in the National Socialist German Reich , especially the Nuremberg Laws

After the Second World War , efforts were made, above all in Germany, for reparations and compensation to the Jewish communities, for example with the Luxembourg Agreement of 1952, as well as for criminal penalties for new anti-Semitic efforts.
