Who was Franz Rosenzweig?
Born in 1886 in Kassel, died in 1929 in Frankfurt am Main
Despite his early death, the namesake of our Freiburg Felixx students is considered one of the most important German-Jewish intellectuals of the 20th century. The son of an emancipated Jewish family, he began as a medical student but switched fields after two years to study history and philosophy. His dissertation, with which he earned his doctorate in Freiburg in 1912, is the first comprehensive critical analysis of Hegel’s political philosophy. Deeply shaped by his frontline service in World War I, Rosenzweig devoted himself increasingly to questions of the philosophy of religion. He took charge of establishing the Jewish Lehrhaus in Frankfurt am Main, which was intended to promote a contemporary Jewish way of life in a modern, Christian-dominated Europe. From 1922 onward, he became increasingly paralyzed due to a serious illness. Nevertheless, he managed to complete the first part of the project he had begun with Martin Buber to translate the Holy Scriptures into German.
