The power struggle that broke out between the Senate and the
Citizens‘ Council of the city at the end of 17th century could, it
was hoped, be resolved with the help of a revised constitution that
would restore political stability. The Imperial Decree for Jews of
1710, the Judenreglement, became a legal component of the new city
constitution, the Basic Law [so-called Hauptrezess] of 1712. In the
State Archive Hamburg, the text is not preserved in its original form
but rather as a twenty-page parchment document, the confirmation of
the Regulations by Emperor Charles VI, dating from July 17, 1717. His
late brother, Emperor Joseph I (d. 1711), had issued the Decree for
Jews on September 17, 1710 as a reordering of the legal status of Jews
and as part of an intended revision of the Hamburg constitution.
