The volume documents the contributions to a conference held by the Moses Mendelssohn Foundation in October 2014 in Darmstadt, the birthplace of the Jewish poet Karl Wolfskehl. The focus of this interdisciplinary conference was not only on the famous poet´s and intellectual´s poetic and essayistic work; rather, it was also and especially on his family, in particular on their far-reaching significance for Darmstadt's history and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries. The lectures shed light on outstanding members of the Wolfskehl family in their life and times and explore whether and how they moved in the traditions and cultural dispositions of German-Jewish bourgeoisie. This legacy was irretrievably destroyed by National Socialism; to paradigmatically bring it to light and contribute to its safeguarding forms the main concern of the authors of this volume.
