The Leo Baeck Institute
The Leo Baeck Institute (LBI) is the leading research institute in the field of the history and culture of German-speaking Jewry in Europe from the Seventeenth Century onwards. It was founded in 1955 and named after Leo Baeck, the last public representative of the Jewish Community in Nazi Germany. Among the Institute's publications are the Leo Baeck Institute Year Book and its own book series, the Schriftenreihe wissenschaftlicher Abhandlungen. The Institute organises a broad range of events such as lecture series and international conferences, and has recently established two research professorships to investigate the role of German-speaking Jews in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century academia.
