Sexualität vor Gericht
Deviante geschlechtliche Praktiken und deren Verfolgung vom 14. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert
Sexual intercourse between Jews and Christians was severely punished by the courts during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. However, in many cases the allegations had been made up. The punishment was usually a high fine for the accused and not the death penalty mentioned in some legal texts. Evidence comes also from nonlegal sources, such as chronicles and other literary documents (e.g. the Meistersang). These sources do not refer to real incidents but voice unvarnished dislike or even outright hatred toward the Jews, instigated by religious fanaticism and greedy magistrates.
Keywords: early modern Europe – hatred of Jews – Jewish-Christian Relationship – Meistersang – sexual intercourse
