Germans in the Land of Israel – Sources at the Israel State Archive
This webinar will present the information available for Germans who lived in Israel, Jews and non-Jews alike, available at the Israel State Archive.Prussia established its first consulate in Jerusalem in 1842. The Consulate operated with a short break from 1917 to 1925 due to WWI until the outbreak of WWII. Documents were abandoned and a part of them was seized by Israeli police in 1955 when they were sold by the kilo and the State Archive acquired more documents later. The collection of these rescued documents is available at the Israel State Archive and a copy at the Political Archive in Berlin. The collection includes documentation of passport and visa matters, tax matters, relationship with the Ottoman empire, documents from the Spanish consulate which represented Germans from 1917 to 1925, records of the Tempelgesellschaft from Baden-Wurttemberg, a messianic Christian group that established several colonies in the land, conscription lists for WWI and WWII including CVs and photos, records on the immigration of German Jews who had to register at the consulate after fleeing Germany and so much more. This collection is an invaluable source researching Jewish and non-Jewish Germans in the Land of Israel.
