Provenance research at Goethe University anticipates further extensive restitutions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Johann Christian Senckenberg University Library (UB) at Goethe University Frankfurt has been systematically reviewing its collections since 2020 to identify Nazi-looted property and return it to its rightful owners. The provenance research is supported by the German Lost Art Foundation. For the first time, volumes have now been restituted to the Jewish Community of Frankfurt, including books from the collection of one of the city\u2019s prominent Jewish families.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In numerical terms, it was a comparatively small restitution: five volumes were handed over within the premises of the University Library (UB). What made the occasion exceptional was that this marked the first time the UB returned books to Frankfurt\u2019s Jewish Community. Among them were volumes previously owned by individuals of central importance to the predecessor community. Julius Blau (*1861), an attorney and notary, served as chair of the Israelite Community from 1903 until his death in 1939 and was actively involved in numerous Jewish aid organizations. His term of office included milestones such as the construction of the Westend Synagogue (1910) and the Philanthropin \u2013 the city\u2019s historic Jewish school \u2013 on Hebelstra\u00dfe (1908), but also the early years of the Nazi era. His son Ernst (*1892) worked as a librarian for the Israelite Community, emigrated to France in 1939, and died in 1941 at the Gurs concentration camp. Two additional books originated from the community library itself or from the \u201cTagesheim der erwerbslosen j\u00fcdischen Jugend\u201d [Day Home for Unemployed Jewish Youth].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Justizrat Dr. Blau with best regards from Vf\u201d is handwritten in a publication about the \u201cFrankfurter Sammelkatalog\u201d, bound together with other booklets in a single volume. Another booklet in the same volume bears a personalized bookplate identifying \u201cDr. Ernst Blau,\u201d Julius Blau\u2019s son, as the owner. A copy of Nahum Norbert Glatzer\u2019s \u201cHistory of the Talmudic Era\u201d is identifiable by a stamp from the Israelite Community, while the \u201cGeneral Encyclopedia\u201d carries a stamp from the Day Home for Unemployed Jewish Youth. Such clear evidence of previous ownership is not always available to the UB\u2019s provenance research team. The exact route by which the books entered the library\u2019s collection can no longer be reconstructed. Based on cataloging data, however, it is clear that the volumes must have arrived before the end of the Nazi regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the restituted books are neither valuable nor rare editions, their return is nonetheless of great significance to Frankfurt\u2019s Jewish Community: \u201cFor us, this is a very important acknowledgment of the injustice inflicted on Jews in Frankfurt,\u201d says Rachel Heuberger, a member of the Jewish Community Frankfurt\u2019s five-person board and a former University Library employee, where she led the renowned Judaica collection until 2019. She welcomes the fact that, with funding from the German Lost Art Foundation, the UB is now able to systematically review its holdings. Julius and Ernst Blau are well-known figures within the community, and their memory is held in high regard. In 1936, the Israelite Community was designated as the Blau family\u2019s sole heir through an inheritance contract. In 1964, it received limited \u201ccompensation\u201d for the family\u2019s losses, including payments related to the Jewish Property Tax, the Reich Flight Tax, and the Dego levy imposed at the time of Ernst Blau\u2019s emigration. The family home was burned down during the November Pogroms of 1938.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the Nazi era, the Israelite Community\u2019s library comprised 11,531 works in 14,085 volumes, as recorded by librarian Dr. Ernst Blau in 1932. These included the valuable book collection of the Marburg philosopher Hermann Cohen and, on loan, the collection of Frankfurt Orientalist Raphael Kirchheim. Like most Jewish property, the library was later confiscated by the Nazis. The recovered books are now being integrated into the Jewish Community\u2019s current collection. Given the scale of the losses, reconstruction of the original library is not possible, Heuberger explains. However, following the identification of additional suspected cases of Nazi-looted property, the University Library expects to carry out further restitutions. \u201cWe still have a lot of work ahead of us,\u201d says provenance researcher Darleen Pappelau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goethe University\u2019s Executive Board established the Forum for University History with the goal of bringing together and making accessible projects focused on exploring the history of the university and its collections. Provenance research at the UB is part of this growing network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
