| Summary: | In the years 1781/1783 Christian Dohm published his book On the Civil Improvement of the Jews. France abolished the body tax for Jews in 1784 and granted them full civil rights in 1791. Against this emancipatory trend there appeared in 1801 a book by Christian Jacob Gottlieb Klüber: Discussion of the Questions: 1) May a Ruler forbid Foreign Jews with a Writ of Protection from Engaging in Trade within his Realm? 2) Can these Jews obtain a Trade Concession, if they Pay Leibzoll? Totally oblivious of the debate on the emancipation of the Jews, the author advised territorial rulers to institutionalize the body tax in consultation with the neighbouring nobility. The author must have been driven by motives more complex than a mere dislike of Jews. Klüber’s advice to institutionalize the »Leibzoll« must be seen as an attempt to strengthen the imperial knights against the more powerful German princes. |
