Collection 1 in the Bad Oldesloe Town Archive comprises documents from the oldest period in the town's history, starting in 1365 and covering the period to 1864. Sub-collection XX (“Bürgerschaft“ - Citizenship) contains one file (No. 3) about so called Schutzjuden (protected Jews). It is divided chronologically into five sub-files. The files contain applications for citizenship and protected status by Jews intending to settle in the town of Bad Oldesloe and the concerning correspondence.
Subfile 1 (1727-1769) contains the case of Meyer Joseph Rintel, who intends to settle in Bad Oldesloe and start a business there (1727). The section furthermore contains privileges granted to local Jews Elias Goldschmidt and Levin Jacob Ahrens. It also includes a letter of reference for Israel Israel signed by various local citizens as well as correspondence associated with Israel’s application for protections. The collection also contains a certificate for local Jew Marcus Joel who had been living in Bad Oldesloe illegally for 15 years and was eventually naturalised in 1769.
The second section (1770-1790) comprises similar material from the time of Danish King Christian VII's rule. It includes the cases of the following Jews applying for citizenship or protection: Moses Joseph (approved concession), Israel Israel, Moses Israel (letter of protection by the king), Telschen Israel. It also contains material about negotiations between the Danish king and the Jewish court in Altona.
The third section (1800-1819) contains case file materials as well as official printed matters concerning the legal situation of Jews in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein: it involves regulations about the burial practice of Jews (1811), about the right for private property and real estate for Jews (1811) and about the legal situation of Jewish farmhands and servants (1812).
The fourth section (1820/1822) contains various case file material.
The fifth section contains various case file material. This involves a request by local Jew Salomon Jacob Moses for a certificate about his residence and business relations in Bad Oldesloe. The request is followed by investigations about his actual circumstances of residence and business relations. His concession is eventually granted. The section furthermore contains the case file of Menni Hirsch, who applies for settlement and opening a business in Bad Oldesloe in 1856. Extensive investigations are carried out, letters of recommendation are written and his request is eventually approved.
