  • The Stuttgart Jüdische Kunstgemeinschaft was founded in 1933 as a department of the Jüdisches Lehrhaus in Stuttgart by the musicologist Karl Adler . His brother-in-law Leopold Marx, a writer, and Otto Hirsch, a lawyer, were also involved in its founding.
  • It only existed for five years from 1933 to 1938, before the November pogroms put an end to Jewish cultural work in Stuttgart. During these five years, the Kunstgemeinschaft had become an important institution of Jewish cultural work despite the repressive exclusion and surveillance policies of the National Socialists.
  • The Kunstgemeinschaft offered work alternatives for unemployed Jewish artists and cultural events for the Jewish population who had been excluded from society. In addition, the idea of „spiritual resistance“ found its way into the work of the art community. But the real achievement of the art community was its sheer existence in times of adverse and constantly changing political circumstances: it offered the Jews of Stuttgart and Württemberg a place of cultural enrichment and a home in difficult times.
  • In courses, study groups and lectures, visitors mostly heard religious content, often from prominent intellectuals of the time, such as the religious philosopher Martin Buber or the liberal rabbi Leo Baeck.
  • The work of the art community was presented and introduced to the Jewish public for the first time on 19 December 1933 in the Gustav Siegle House at a Hanukkah celebration organized by the Jewish Lehrhaus. Between 1200 and 1400 members of the Jewish community in Stuttgart and the surrounding communities of Heilbronn and Ulm were present at this event. At this time, the Jewish community in Stuttgart had 4490 members.
  • The Reichspogromnacht of 1938 and its consequences put an end to Jewish cultural work in Stuttgart and thus also to the work of the Stuttgart Jewish Art Community.
