Membership

There are many good reasons to join the Mendelssohn-Gesellschaft:

  • You will find yourself amidst a network of researchers and writers, historians, and readers, in short: the friends of Moses Mendelssohn,
    Dorothea Schlegel, Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and all the many others.
  • You will be a supporter of the only historical society in the world dedicated to researching and paying tribute to all the many branches of
    the Mendelssohn family as a unique microcosm of civic engagement and German-Jewish history.
  • You will receive, free of charge, a copy of the journal “Mendelssohn-Studien,” published every two years by Wehrhahn Verlag (in German).
    Each volume contains scholarly articles on modern German cultural history, along with the most recent research findings concerning the
    members of the Mendelssohn family. You will also have the opportunity to acquire some of the earlier issues of the Mendelssohn-
    Studien at reduced prices.
  • You will receive invitations to all events, concerts, readings, lectures, exhibitions, and excursions.
  • You will receive the Newsletter with regular updates and comprehensive information.

  • You will be part of a network of interested citizens who are committed to an understanding and appreciation of history that is a living
    part of the present, who assume civic responsibility, and who enjoy good music and intellectual stimulation. A great opportunity to get
    to know interesting people, in other words!
  • You will be able to demonstrate your own civic commitment, in the best tradition of the Mendelssohn family! By your membership dues,
