Collection 2-P.8 comprises material concerning citizenship and settling in the city of Bremen and its rural surroundings. It includes the series 2-P.8.E which comprises material about Jewish settlement and citizenship in Bremen and its surroundings. This in turn is divided into five files with a total of 17 sub-files.
2-P.8.E.1: two folders of general documents on Jewish matters dating from 1603 to 1938, for example statistics and figures about the local Jewish community.
2-P.8.E.2.a and 2-P.8.E.2.b: material about Jews in Bremen from the 1500s to 1700 and from 1711 to 1809. These files are primarily made up of settlement requests of Jewish families wanting to take up residence in Bremen.
2-P.8.E.2.c.1: general documents and individual cases concerning Jews in Bremen. It is divided into 11 folders of material from 1813 to 1872. These folders contain lists of Jews living in Bremen, legal requests and complaints by local Jews to the city council and general observations and information about the Jewish community in Bremen.
2-P.8.E.2.c.2: three folders of material documenting the strict anti-Jewish policies in Bremen after the end of French rule in 1814. As many other German states Bremen retracted the emancipation of Jewish inhabitants during the Congress of Vienna in 1815. 2-P.8.E.2.c.2 is divided into three folders of material from 1819 to 1842. They contain documents about the expulsion of Jews who had settled in Bremen in the years of French rule as well as measures against those Jews who refused to leave. The newer material documents the case of the local Jewish family Salomon requesting financial support from the Bremen city council in order to be able to emigrate to the United States.
