Abstract
Two crucial events took place in the history of Frankfurt Jewry in the early seventeenth century. The first was the Fettmilch Uprising, a rebellion of the guilds, directed against the patrician government, which also led to a temporary expulsion of the Jews. The second was an internal revolt inside the Judengasse in the years following the return of the Jews. It was directed against the Jewish elders who governed the Jewry in nearly the same absolutist manner as the city council ruled the city at large. Both movements, aiming for political participation, Med because they provoked the intervention of superior powers, the emperor and the city council. Both were interested in maintaining public order and the status quo.
