- Scope and content:
- The collection of the Tiroler Senat (Tyrolean senate) holds various files concerning members of the Jewish community of Hohenems. The files contain documents produced during several court cases between 1792 and 1842, including an 1821 litigation over a business dispute between Raphael Brettauer and Joseph Löwenberg. Four other files refer to court cases of Raphael Brettauer, who was an active moneylender. Another file contains documents concerning the heirs of the merchant Wolf Joseph Levi, who had to pay 9,000 florins to the children of Sara Löwenberg in 1832. Another file contains documents concerning a legal argument between Philipp Rosenthal and a company called Bunzel & Söhne, located in Prague. Two files contain cases of the brothers Mooß and Herz Löw Lämle, protected Jews of Hohenems. The collection also holds a file containing documents about a 1792 legal argument between Nephtali Brettauer and Maria Anna Brentanin and information about another court case of Wolf Josef Levi from 1803.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The collection includes documents concerning cases that took place in Tyrol. The collection can be found at the public administration archive between 1380 and 1848. The public administration archive was established in 1848 and merged the documents of the Bohemian and Austrian chambers, which had administered those territories before 1848. As the collection became more extensive, it was split and part was stored at the Justizpalast (palace of justice), where it was mostly destroyed in a fire in 1927.
