Who actually was David Friedländer?
Born in Königsberg (Prussia) in 1750, died in Berlin in 1834.
Our first house in the capital is named after a key figure in modern Judaism who is unjustly little known today. David Friedländer, a friend of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, lived in Berlin from 1771 and became the spokesman and organizer of the Jewish Enlightenment movement (Haskalah) after Mendelssohn’s death in 1786. The silk manufacturer and city councilor initiated numerous educational projects, including the founding of a Jewish free school in 1778, where poor children received free education. He also wrote schoolbooks and translated from Hebrew. Friedländer was committed to Christian-Jewish dialogue and even proposed (unsuccessfully) a “religious union” of Judaism and Protestantism. He played a major role in shaping the 1812 Prussian Edict of Emancipation, which granted Jews extensive civil rights for the first time. As a philanthropist, he supported science and the arts; among those he supported were Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt.
