history of the Jews in the Holy Roman Empire and its successor states was established in 2009 as spin-off product of an application for a research grant from the German Science Foundation (DFG) Although the application failed, the summer academy continued thanks to the support of the universities and cooperating institutions involved Since then it has taken place in Eisenstadt, Fürth, Fulda, Freiburg/Fribourg, Innsbruck, Jerusalem, Leer, Jever, Rauischholzhausen, Schwabach and Vienna From its inception the main objective of the summer academy has been to acquaint students and early career scholars with an intensive, critical, interdisciplinary, research-oriented and source-based training in the history of the Jews and their relations with the non-Jewish environment in Central Europe from the late 15th century to the present The programme of the summer academy is focused on, but not limited to the Jewish experience in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation It comprises altogether five components, each of which consists of at least twelve teaching units of 90 minutes each: A) B) C) D) E) Background knowledge and discussion In-depth teaching units concerning the annually changing special topic Excursions Paleography courses Finals of the Ius Commune Moot Court – The Imperial Aulic Council and the Historical Jewish Law Moot Court – The Rabbinic Tribunal of Prague Palaeography courses are offered in different variants and on different levels In the preceding years participants had the opportunity to acquire or enhance reading skills in original German, Hebrew, Yiddish and Judaeo-German This year courses in Czech and Latin will be taught for the first time 1) Special Topic of the Summer Academy 2019: Status Quo, Compromise and Parity in Politics, Law and Society With the status quo agreement between the Jewish Agency and the Agudath Israel (19 June 1947), the status quo arrangements governing the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and other shared religious sites in Jerusalem and Bethlehem (1757, 1852, 1929) [and the status quo regime of the Temple Mount Israel is a place where the challenges, merits and dilemmas of status quo agreements enshrined in positive and customary law are difficult to miss for any observer Contradicting the principles of absolute individual equality and majority rule status quo arrangements not sit well with classical liberal ideas of governance and law and carry with them the connotation of emergency measures, irregularity and/or substandard political and legal practices Being often situated at the intersection of international and domestic law seems to have added to their obscurity Although some status quo and compromise regimes have lasted for considerable stretches of time and were of pivotal importance for maintaining external and internal peace, they are not treated as regular institutes of law and have failed to attract the attention of mainstream modern political and legal thought The summer academy 2019 will start with a discussion of status quo agreements, parity and compromise between Catholics and Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire The Westphalian Peace Settlement of 1648 is arguably the most prominent example for a status quo agreement What makes the experience of the Holy Roman Empire particularly interesting is the design of a set of legal institutes and pocedures to make it work on a permanent basis The Normaljahr of 1624 (restrospective standard year determining the status quo), religious parties (corpus Catholicorum and corpus Evangelicorum) as permanent, but situational institutes in constitutional and international law, paritas (parity) itio in partes (temporary divsion of the members of the Imperial Diet according to religious affiliation), compositio amicabilis (amicable settlement) were meant to freeze the political and theological conflict between Catholics and Protestants in the Empire From the answers to the Catholic-Protestant divide in the Holy Roman Empire this year’s summer academy will move on to more recent attempts to cope with religious and national divisions Particular emphasis will be given to the national compromises in the Habsburg Empire and the social and cultural practices aligned to them In addition the summer academy will ask to what extent the legal regimes of public ecclesiastical law, developed in central Europe and of nationality rights designed in the Habsburg Empire may serve as points of reference for the current debates concerning the religious-secular divide in Israel, the different religious traditions in Judaism and Arab-Jewish coexistence beyond the two state-solution Overall costs for participation include: a) Participation fee covering reading material, excursions and entrance fees For the
