Ludwig August Frankl and Theodor Herzl, two Jewish intellectuals in Vienna, died within ten years... more Ludwig August Frankl and Theodor Herzl, two Jewish intellectuals in Vienna, died within ten years from one another, 1894 and 1904 respectively. In this decade, the fading of Liberalism and the strengthening of Nationalism within Jewish and Gentile population come to the fore. At Frankl’s funeral Viennese society gathered one last time in the spirit of Liberalism. Ten years later, the social and political changes manifest in the different media coverage, clearly divide between the Jewish and the Gentile sphere. Nationalism and Antisemitism became the cornerstones defining the relations between Jews and Gentiles in Vienna. The paper outlines the reasons for this development.
