Museum employees at the Austrian Jewish Museum in Eisenstadt

The Austrian Jewish Museum was the first Jewish museum to be founded in Austria after 1945. The main aim of the museum is to impart knowledge, to arouse interest in Judaism, but also to reduce misunderstandings and prejudices, to preserve Jewish culture and tradition and to promote new approaches to education and science. To this end, we are increasingly focusing on linking tradition, cultural heritage and living Judaism. If you share our values and would like to contribute to imparting knowledge in an interesting, modern and creative way, you are very welcome to join us.

About Andreas Lehnertz

As a Juniorprofessor of Medieval History specializing in Jewish History at Trier University, I delve into the intricate tapestry of social, cultural, and religious European history. My academic pursuits are centered around the nuanced dynamics of daily Christian-Jewish relations, the exploration of marginal Hebrew and Yiddish charter notes, the study of Jewish as well as general sealing practices, and the profound examination of Jewish craftspeople. I wrote a book about "Jewish Seals in the Medieval German Empire: The Authentication and Self-Representation of Jewish Men and Women" (in German). My expertise has been further honed through my roles as a postdoctoral fellow in the ERC project "Beyond the Elite – Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe" at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and as a member of the Martin Buber Society in the Humanities and Social Sciences, also at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Currently, I am writing book that delves into the intriguing world of "Jewish Craftspeople in Medieval Ashkenaz." Through my research and publications, I aim to contribute meaningfully to the academic discourse surrounding medieval history, providing valuable insights into the rich tapestry of European history during this pivotal period.
