Universität München

This collection documents the personal and professional life of Bernhard Witkop. Even though the major focus of the collection is on Witkop himself, there is a lot of correspondence between him and other Jewish friends, as well as material about other Jewish families like Levy-Salomonsohn and Ehrlich. The collection is composed of official documents, family trees, correspondence and newspaper articles.

The collection contains documents of Gustav Wendel and his family, including documents pertaining to Wendel's service as a physician in the German army; family documents, such as birth, marriage, and citizenship certificates, family history, and correspondence; and documents pertaining to Wendel's medical training. Also included is a letter to Wendel from Lion Feuchtwanger.

This collection contains a few letters sent to prominent egyptologist Wilhelm Spiegelberg from colleagues regarding an antisemitic backlash against his university appointment, as well as a modest group of his family papers, especially those pertaining to his grandfather, a veterinarian in Hameln and Hannover districts.
