Religiöse Sucher in der Moderne - Konversionen vom Judentum zum Protestantismus in Wien um 1900

Around 1900, numerous conversions from Judaism to Christianity took place in Vienna. Most notable for predominantly Catholic Vienna was the number of individuals who found their way to the Protestant Church. What was their motivation in taking this step? The study examines the religious biographies of major figures in fin-de-siècle Vienna, illuminating their religious and ideological beliefs.
