The study “Sephardic Jews on the Lower Elbe” published by Franz
Steiner Verlag in 1958 as volume 40 of their supplement to the
academic journal Vierteljahresschrift für Sozial- und
Wirtschaftsgeschichte (edited by Hermann Aubin) may be considered a
central contribution to Hamburg’s Jewish history of the early
postwar period. Its author, Hermann Kellenbenz, was one of the most
influential German economic historians of his generation. In his
600-page book, he studied the economic significance of the Sephardic
Jews who were expelled from Spain in the early 16th century and had
been allowed to settle in Hamburg. However, the publication’s
origins date back to the National Socialist period, when Kellenbenz
had received a research assignment by the Reich Institute for the
History of the New Germany Reichsinstitut für Geschichte des neuen
Deutschlands. This fact is omitted in the study’s preface – which
is hardly surprising for this time period.
