Abstract
Using Frankfurt’s Bahnhofsviertel (train station district) as a case study, the
article examines how a new generation of Jewish and Muslim entrepreneurs
and cultural actors’ counters prejudice through ideas of hybridity, shared
interests and minority experiences. It shows how Jewish–Muslim encounters
link neighborhood life with broader identity politics. Case studies illustrate
how notions of conviviality are produced and challenged, and how urban
renewal, commerce and culture offer opportunities but also limits, as local
and subaltern perspectives are often overlooked.
