Heine's poem "Loreley", which has been set to music many times, has become the epitome of the German folk song. But he was not only a poet, but also an essayist, a journalist and is considered the creator of the modern feature section. However, he lacked epic narrative talent.
The little-known story "The Rabbi of Bacherach" has remained a fragment, although it plays an important role in Heine's work in terms of biography and cultural history.
The fragment is based on the legend of Werner from Oberwesel. His unexplained death was blamed on the Jews and led to a wave of pogroms against them. Heine, himself of Jewish origin, interrupted work on the story for many years, especially since he was baptized as a Protestant in 1825.
He only took it up again in 1840, when the so-called Damascus affair - a new version of a ritual murder allegedly committed by Jews - led to an outbreak of anti-Semitism throughout the Orient.
