A talk by Stephen R. Levitt, NSU Associate Professor in the Department of History and Political Science.
Settled in the 17th century by Huguenots fleeing persecution in
France, Moabit became home to a large Berlin Jewish community in the
19th and early 20th century, corresponding with rapid industrialization.
This lecture explores Moabit’s transitions over four hundred years
with a focus on the district’s role in housing minorities and migrants.
It will consider to what extent Huguenot, Jewish, Turkish and other
minority and migrant groups became integrated in Prussian or German
society and conclude with an analysis of the recent influx of Syrian
refugees articulating how this might affect municipal politics and
priorities.
