“Citizen’s Decision” (‘Bürgerbeschluß’) issued by the assembly of the Senate and the citizens (‘Conventus Senatus et civicum’) [Free Imperial City of Hamburg; Present-day Germany]: “[…] The high-German (‘hochdeutsche’) Jews are to be terminated* (‘aufgekündigt’) and expelled [from the city] by Easter 1649.” [Researcher’s note: *It is more likely that “terminated” refers here to contracts and/or residency permits Jews may have had with the city and/or citizens of Hamburg.]
