English summary: From ancient times to the present, Jews have been subjected to hostility right up to aggressive persecution and extermination. Thoughts and actions shaped by prejudice were also accepted, sometimes even promoted, by Christianity and in all strata of Western Christian-influenced societies. This interdisciplinary volume documents the cultural-academic contributions of a lecture series featuring internationally renowned authors. They provide an unconventional illumination of the unstable relationships between Christianity, but also of Islam, to Judaism in Europe, and analyse the consequences. The result is a multifaceted but also stringent synthesis of the current state of academic knowledge presented in a generally understandable form. German description: Juden wurden von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart angefeindet bis hin zur aggressiven Verfolgung und Vernichtung. Die von Vorurteilen gepragten Denk- und Handlungsweisen wurden auch im Christentum und in allen Schichten der christlich gepragten Gesellschaften Europas aufgenommen und teilweise spezifisch zugespitzt. Dieser interdisziplinare Sammelband dokumentiert die kulturwissenschaftlichen Beitrage einer Ringvorlesung mit international renommierten Autoren, die die instabilen Verhaltnisse von Christentum, aber auch des Islam zum Judentum in Europa auch unkonventionell ausleuchten und die Folgen analysieren. Sie bieten damit eine facettenreiche, aber auch stringente Synthese auf aktuellem Stand wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis in allgemein verstandlicher Form. Mit Beitragen von:Thomas Brechenmacher, Lothar Bluhm, Gangolf Hubinger, Alfred Kohler, Volker Leppin, Kurt Molitor, Adolf Martin Ritter, Dirk Schuster, Michael Tilly, Peter Ullrich, Georg Wenz
