On April 26, 1812, the ten members of the Committee of Separation
signed a handwritten document. It would be immediately designated
simply as the “Act of Separation.” The Committee of Separation was
composed equally of members of the Altona and Hamburg Jewish
congregations. Certainly, they had come to an agreement, but under the
pressure of changed constitutional conditions.
The Act is among the earliest longer documents of the Jewish
congregations in the Hamburg region. It is composed in the German
language and in Latin script. In form and content it deals with
contractual negotiations, essentially concerning financial assets. The
contents of the Act of Separation were published in excerpts by Moses
M. Haarbleicher, to whom posterity owes its knowledge of the essential
paragraphs of the document (see M[oses] M. Haarbleicher, Aus der
Geschichte der Deutsch-Israelitischen Gemeinde in Hamburg [From the
History of the German-Israelite Congregation in Hamburg], 2nd ed.,
Hamburg 1886, p. 81). The complete text, with related relevant
documents, is preserved in the Hamburg State Archive, Sign. STAHH
