history

The members of the initiative included well-known people from science, art and politics. The chairman of the committee was Carl Ballod , as well as Hans Delbrück , Franz Carl Endres , Constantin Fehrenbach , Eberhard Gothein , Junck and Gustav Noske .

As a task, Zionism's striving for a coherent Jewish settlement area in Palestine should be made known to the public, because this would also promote German cultural and economic relations in the Middle East . A number of writings were published ( Reimar Hobbing , Berlin, 1918-1919, a total of 268 pages in eight booklets).

On December 15, 1926, on the initiative of Kurt Blumenfeld, a new “German Committee for Palestine” was founded. Member was among other Konrad Adenauer .
