Karl Loewenstein
Papers, 1822-1977 (bulk 1908-1973)
Summary: The Karl Loewenstein Papers contain materials produced and collected by Karl
Loewenstein (1891-1973) over the course of his long career as a political
scientist, professor, lawyer, and government advisor. The papers include
professional and personal correspondence, manuscripts, lecture notes, reports,
memoranda, legal documents, diaries, lecture and interview transcripts,
photographs, recordings, and printed material. The bulk of the collection
documents Loewenstein‘s long academic career, which began in Munich and
continued at Yale and Amherst (1936-1961) after his emigration to the United
States in 1933. His work as an advisor for the Emergency Advisory Committee
for Political Defense of the American Republics (1942-1944) and for the U.S.
Office of Military Government for Germany (1945-1946) is also well
documented. Notable correspondents included Thomas Mann, Max Weber,
Lyonel Feininger, Otto Kollreuter, Theodor Maunz, Otto Crusius, Julien Reinach,
Lavinia Mazzucchetti, and Mina Tobler. Pre-1933 materials include
correspondence, manuscripts, and family papers. The collection also includes
small amounts of material belonging to Loewenstein‘s wife, Piroska (Rona)
Loewenstein, and other family members.

INTRODUCTION
Biographical and Historical Note
Karl Loewenstein was born in Munich, Germany, on November 9, 1891, son of a metalware
manufacturer and grandson of a Stuttgart jurist. First guided by his parents toward a career in
business, Loewenstein turned to the study of law at age nineteen. He attended the universities of
Munich, Heidelberg, Paris, and Berlin and received his law degree from Munich in 1914.
During World War I, he served with the German infantry (1915). He later completed
preparation for a legal career and was admitted to the Bar in 1918. He went on to obtain his
doctorate in civil and ecclesiastical law (1919). Loewenstein practiced law in Munich during the
1920s and, in 1931, became a lecturer (Privatdozent) at the University of Munich School of Law.
During 1933, Nazi laws forbidding ―non-Aryans‖ to teach German law led him to resign his
position. Nazi-sponsored anti-Semitism also made Loewenstein‘s legal practice difficult to
sustain, and he looked for opportunities to emigrate. Aided by the Emergency Committee in Aid
of Displaced German Scholars, he obtained an offer of a two-year teaching position at Yale
University. Loewenstein arrived in the United States in late 1933, after marrying his Hungarian
fiancée (Piroska Rona). A few months before his position at Yale was due to expire,
Loewenstein was offered and accepted a position in the political science department at Amherst
College (1936-1939). In 1940, Amherst awarded Loewenstein an honorary M.A. and appointed
him Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science. He held this position until reaching
emeritus status in 1961, teaching political theory, the history of government, and international
and comparative law.
In 1941, a Guggenheim Fellowship took him to South America for several months of research on
contemporary Latin American politics. His subsequent public lectures and writings on trends in
Latin American and European political culture caught the attention of officials at the U.S.
Departments of State and Justice seeking to curtail the spread of fascism. In 1942, Loewenstein
took partial leave from Amherst College to become a Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney
General in Washington, D.C. Part of his responsibility was to oversee production of a series of
reports and memoranda for the Emergency Advisory Committee for Political Defense of the
American Republics on fascist political organization and activity in Latin America. While at the
Department of Justice, Loewenstein was asked by the State Department to act as temporary legal
advisor to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) (1943). He
also spent several weeks teaching at the Harvard School for Overseas Administration in
Cambridge, Massachusetts (1943-1944). Concurrent with these obligations, Loewenstein served
on a committee of the American Law Institute organized to draft a ―Statement on Essential
Human Rights.‖ After the war, Loewenstein was asked by the Justice Department in to serve in
the Legal Division of the United States Office of Military Government for Germany. From
1945-1946, he lent his expertise in German law and his familiarity with the German legal
community to the effort to ―de-Nazify‖ the administration of German justice. As of September,
1946, his primary activities were once again teaching and writing, but he continued work as an
advisor on matters of constitutional and international law. From 1952-1954, he advised the
leader of the German Social Democratic Party, Adolf Arndt, as the latter mounted a

constitutional challenge to the signing of European Defense treaties by the Federal Republic of
Germany. In 1961-1962, while teaching at Kyoto University on a Fulbright Fellowship,
Loewenstein became an advisor to the Japanese Constitutional Reform Commission.
Loewenstein was a prolific writer and a tireless promoter of his works and ideas. During his first
decade in the U.S., he gave numerous public talks to civic groups, both locally and nationally.
Later in his career, he held more than fourteen guest professorships, including one at the
University of Munich (where he was later reinstated as a full professor). Loewenstein authored
fourteen books and numerous articles, pamphlets, book reviews, essays, and letters to the editor.
He wrote and lectured on a wide range of topics, including comparative constitutional law, the
history of government, political symbolism, and international affairs. Some of his work
incorporated a sociological perspective on political power that manifested the influence of Max
Weber, whose circle in Heidelberg Loewenstein had frequented in his student years. Frequent
travel gained him contacts around the world, some of whom became regular correspondents. In
addition to his professional memberships, he was a member of the Cosmos Club (Washington,
D.C.). Opinionated and verbally adept in both German and English, Loewenstein often
generated controversy and criticism through his publications and public lectures. He appears to
have relished intellectual debate. Toward the end of his life, he found it increasingly difficult to
interest American publishers in his work. He was held in particularly high esteem in German
academic circles, however, throughout his lifetime and beyond. In 1972, he was awarded the
German Order of Merit by the Federal Republic of Germany. He died on July 10, 1973, on a
visit to Heidelberg.

History of the Papers and Their Organization
The bulk of the materials in the collection were donated to Amherst College by the estate of
Piroska Loewenstein (1900-1979) in 1984. Smaller amounts of material were donated (also by
her estate) in 1979, 1986, and 1990. Upon his retirement in 1961, Karl Loewenstein also
deposited a number of pamphlets and books with the Archives.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PAPERS
Scope and Content Note
The Karl Loewenstein Papers contain a wide variety of materials collected and created by Karl
Loewenstein over the course of his lifetime. The collection also includes items produced or
collected by members of Loewenstein‘s family. The bulk of material produced or collected by
Loewenstein spans the years 1908-1970; the relatively small quantity of family papers and
photographs stretch back to 1822.
The collection documents Loewenstein‘s scholarly career in depth. It includes versions of many
of his major and minor works, from manuscript drafts of some of his earliest publications (circa
1919) to an unpublished essay in English on the Watergate scandal (circa 1973). Voluminous
correspondence documents his negotiations with publishers, substantive discussions with
colleagues in his field, applications for fellowships, and arrangements for guest professorships
and public speaking engagements. The collection also includes evidence of Loewenstein‘s
research (notes, clippings, printed material) on a variety of topics. Materials related to
Loewenstein‘s participation in professional associations and committees beyond Amherst are
also present in the collection, as are notes for courses and lectures given at Amherst and
numerous other institutions. He also retained the texts or transcripts of several of his public
lectures, radio addresses, and a German television panel session. Loewenstein‘s work for
government agencies and commissions is also well documented through reports, memoranda,
correspondence, and, in one case, a detailed, typed office diary (recorded while working for the
U.S. Office of Military Government for Germany, 1945-1946).
Although the collection contains Loewenstein‘s personal diaries from 1905 and 1973 (with
gaps), the unique shorthand that he employed make these difficult to read. Most of
Loewenstein‘s extensive personal and professional correspondence, in contrast, was typed or
written in a legible hand. Loewenstein retained a small number of legal case and correspondence
files, several of which (including one of his own) concern claims for restitution of property lost
after World War I or under the Nazi regime.
In his youth, Loewenstein received training in voice and held a life-long passion for music. The
collection includes more than one thousand programs from musical or theatrical performances he
(presumably) attended. The bulk of these are for European performances between 1902 and
1933. Loewenstein also tried his hand at fiction and poetry; several examples exist in the
collection. Printed materials in the collection include many of Loewenstein‘s articles, often in
the form of offprints, and similar items sent to him by colleagues and acquaintances.
Loewenstein also collected World War II-era pamphlets and constitutions in pamphlet form.
Loewenstein‘s completed memoir, a scrapbook with clippings and photographs, additional
ephemera, financial and legal records, and a small number of recorded radio programs complete
his collection.

Loewenstein‘s father, Otto Loewenstein, appears to have gathered the family papers and
memorabilia that are included in the collection. These include correspondence, photographs, an
autograph album from 1822, and legal documents. Otto Loewenstein‘s own memoir and six-
volume World War I diary (1914-1918) are part of the collection. In addition, very small
amounts of material belonging to Piroska Loewenstein and Mathilda Loewenstein (Karl
Loewenstein‘s wife and mother, respectively) are part of the collection. Their materials include
correspondence, books, brochures, lace patterns, and financial and school records.
The materials are largely in German and English. Karl Loewenstein‘s papers also contain
manuscript and printed materials in Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and
Hungarian. The collection includes translations of Loewenstein‘s published works into
additional languages. Piroska Loewenstein‘s papers contain significant amounts of material in
Hungarian. Mathilda and Otto Loewenstein‘s papers are largely in German, while some of the
ancestral documents collected by Otto Loewenstein contain very small amounts of material in
Hebrew and unidentified scripts.
Organization and Arrangement
The papers are organized into four series:
Series 1: Karl Loewenstein
Series 2: Piroska (Rona) Loewenstein

Subseries Descriptions
Subseries A: Biographical Materials and Life in Germany to 1933
Description
Subseries A contains biographical and autobiographical materials documenting
Loewenstein's life from 1892 to 1973. Documentation of Loewenstein's life includes
identification cards, certificates, school records, diplomas, legal records, and records of
military service from 1892 to 1933, as well as immigration related correspondence and
transactions from 1933-1935. Correspondence and records related to the loss of
Loewenstein‘s teaching position at the University of Munich in 1933 are located in
Subseries D and E. This subseries also contains curriculum vitae, autobiographical
statements, and lists of Loewenstein's publications. The scrapbook filed here
documenting Loewenstein's career from 1933 through 1968 appears to have been largely
the work of his wife, Piroska Loewenstein. Additional files of clippings by or about
Loewenstein are located here as well. Original photographs contained in the scrapbook
have been relocated to Subseries L: Photographs. Toward the end of his life,
Loewenstein composed a memoir ("Des Lebens Überfluss," 427 pages). This subseries
contains drafts and a final, typed version. An electronic scan of the memoir also exists:
Loewenstein-Ueberfluss.pdf. Although Loewenstein's earliest travel diaries are legible
(Box 4, Folder 1; Box 5), his remaining diaries (1905-1971) are written in a unique,
partly illegible shorthand.
Karl Loewenstein‘s biographical file at Amherst College also contains significant
biographical material not duplicated in this collection.
Arrangement: Records, passports, and certificates are located first in the subseries, before
descriptive and autobiographical materials. The diaries are located at the end of this
subseries.

Subseries B: Publications and Research
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 10
Description: This subseries contains manuscripts and typescripts of Loewenstein‘s
published and unpublished work as a political scientist, including book and article
manuscripts, essays for the popular press, book reviews, and letters to the editor. Also
included in this subseries are research files, correspondence related to publications,
reviews of Loewenstein‘s published works, texts and transcripts of speeches and radio
addresses, grant application materials, and materials gathered on or for research trips and
conferences. Journals in which Loewenstein‘s work appeared, or offprints from those
journals, are also in this subseries. Not included in this subseries are research files and
correspondence directly related to Loewenstein‘s work as a policy advisor (Subseries C)
or to his non-scholarly work (Subseries A and H). Additional correspondence relating to
his publications is found in Subseries D: Correspondence. Additional materials
documenting Loewenstein‘s tenure as a Fulbright Fellow in Japan are in Subseries E.
Since Loewenstein accepted public speaking engagements almost whenever he spent
significant periods abroad, transcripts of public lectures given in Germany, Japan,
Belgium, and elsewhere are located in Subseries C (Policy Advising and Research) and
Subseries E (Teaching). Recordings of a small number of Loewenstein‘s lectures and
interviews are in Subseries G.
Of particular interest in this subseries are the clippings and pages from the Vössische
Zeitung and other German newspapers that Loewenstein gathered in 1932-1933 for his
unpublished essay on the German constitutional crisis of 1933. Germany‘s leading
liberal newspaper, the Vössische Zeitung was shut down in 1934. While the collection
contains only few dozen news articles from this period, they provide a penetrating view
of liberal intellectuals‘ understanding of the unfolding political situation shortly before
the Nazi seizure of power.
The correspondence in this subseries has been processed only at the folder level,
maintaining Loewenstein‘s organization by year span and language. The contents of the
correspondence files consist primarily of negotiations with publishers and thank-you
notes from the many individuals to whom Loewenstein sent offprints of his works.
Letters with more substantive content, if found, have been foldered by topic (e.g.
reactions to Brazil under Vargas). Loewenstein generally retained carbon copies of his
typed correspondence and filed incoming and outgoing correspondence together.
A portion of Loewenstein‘s grant application and conference materials have also not been
processed below the folder level.
Arrangement:
Published works and related material (drafts, notes, research materials, correspondence
and reviews) filed by published title and arranged by date of publication
Unpublished works, arranged by approximate date of creation, if known
Minor publications (short essays, book reviews, and letters to the editor), arranged by
date of publication
Research files not clearly connected to any one publication
Correspondence regarding publications, arranged by year

Note that this finding aid lists manuscripts and related material by the published title of
the work in question. In cases where the working title and the final, published titled of a
work differed, the contents of a folder may not appear to match the title given on the
folder. Useful (although not comprehensive) bibliographies of Loewenstein‘s published
works can be found in Markus Lang, Karl Loewenstein: Transatlantischer Denker der
Politik (Stuttgart, 2007), pp. 323-328; and in the Festschrift für Karl Loewenstein
(Tübingen, 1971), pp. 508-516.
Subseries C: Policy Advising and Research
Description:
Loewenstein spent much of the period from 1942 through 1946, and a considerable
portion of the period 1947-1954, as a consultant and advisor to governmental and
intergovernmental bodies. In 1961-1962, he was asked by members of the Japanese
Constitutional Reform Commission to offer his insights and opinions as they considered
fundamental reforms of Japan‘s 1946 constitution. The reports, memoranda,
correspondence, and other material accumulated by Loewenstein in the course of these
activities are gathered here. Material that is related in substance to his work as an
advisor, or that document activities that he carried out simultaneously with his advising
work, are also gathered here.
Arrangement: The subseries arrangement reflects the organizational roles Loewenstein
assumed during this period, in approximate chronological order.

Justice Department; Emergency Advisory Committee for Political Defense;
UNRRA; Guggenheim Research Trip; School for Overseas Administration;
American Law Institute (1941-1944):
Description: Loewenstein appears to have first come to the attention of State Department
and Department of Justice policy-makers through his writings and public lectures. In
particular, his ―Legislative control of political extremism in European democracies‖
(Columbia Law Review, 1938) and his talk on the same subject for the American Bar
Association in September, 1940, attracted the attention of officials concerned about the
spread of fascist movements and ideas (Box 32, folders 16-25). He began work as a
consultant for the Justice Department in June 1942. At the newly-created War Division of
the Department of Justice, where he was one of a number of Special Assistants to the
Attorney General, Loewenstein oversaw research on Latin America and provided policy
recommendations for the Special War Policies Unit and the Alien Enemy Control Unit.
Loewenstein‘s multilingualism and familiarity with Latin American politics (he had
traveled to South America as a Guggenheim Fellow from February to August, 1941)
were put to use as he helped produce a series of reports on fascist political organization
and activity in Latin America. These were submitted to the Emergency Advisory
Committee for Political Defense of the American Republics. Formed in 1942 of
representatives from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela, and the
U.S., the purpose of the committee was to coordinate anti-fascist measures in the
Americas. (The organization was also known as the Inter-American Emergency
Advisory Committee for Political Defense; internal documents refer to the committee
simply as the CPD). Loewenstein was also asked to provide expert testimony in support
of the Justice Department‘s attempt to strip several Puerto Rican naturalized citizens of
their U.S. citizenship for their alleged ties to fascist organizations. Although Justice
officials decided to eliminate Loewenstein‘s testimony before the trial date, the
correspondence, case documents, and memoranda on ―denaturalization‖ that he retained
provide a glimpse into some of the Justice Department‘s wartime activities and concerns
(Box 43, Folders 13, 19, 20, 21).
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 13
Also for the CPD, Loewenstein produced memoranda analyzing fascist influence on
Latin American educational institutions and on the dissemination of anti-Semitic
propaganda in the region. Consistent with his interest in international law, Loewenstein
also took a strong interest in the proposal of Dr. Luis Alberto Bouza of Uruguay to create
a uniform penal code for the states of the Pan-American Union (Box 43, Folder 70).
Because Loewenstein resided in Washington, D.C., only part-time during his work for
the Department of Justice, his relationships with his superiors and colleagues there are
documented in a rich exchange of correspondence. A portion of the correspondence is
organized by month (September 1942-July 1944), and the remainder filed by topic (U.S.
Department of Justice– Criminal Division–Correspondence) or alphabetically by
correspondent. His letters to Laurence A. Knapp (Chief of the Latin American Section
and later with the State Department) and Carl B. Spaeth (Emergency Advisory
Committee for Political Defense) document Loewenstein‘s advising role well. A small
number of letters and memoranda belonging to Miguel A. Capriles, of the Special War
Policies Unit of the Department of Justice, are also present in the collection.
Much of Loewenstein‘s work at the Department of Justice flowed both chronologically
and intellectually out of his Guggenheim-sponsored research trip to Latin America in
1941 and he filed materials from both activities together. This subseries therefore
includes the research files and correspondence generated in the course of his
Guggenheim Fellowship.
In 1943, while working for the Department of Justice, Loewenstein was asked by the
State Department to act as temporary legal advisor to the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). He also spent a portion of 1943 teaching at the
Harvard School for Overseas Administration in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Concurrent
with these obligations, Loewenstein served on a committee organized by the American
Law Institute for the purpose of drafting a ―Statement on Essential Human Rights.‖ In
the course of this work, Loewenstein carried on extensive correspondence with the
committee chair, William Draper Lewis. Loewenstein later noted with pride in his
memoir that some of his work on the document was incorporated into the United Nations
1948 Declaration of Universal Human Rights (―Des Lebens Überfluss,‖ 232). In 1956,
Lowenstein donated an ―almost complete set‖ of the committee‘s papers to the Archives
of the United Nations. Substantial documentation of his committee work for the
American Law Institute and for the American Political Science Association remain in the
collection. Copies of the United Nations Bulletin (1947-1952) collected and annotated
by Loewenstein are also filed in this subseries. The full run of this publication is held at
the Five College Depository.
In September, 1944, Loewenstein was recruited by Carl Spaeth of the Emergency
Advisory Committee for Political Defense to assist at its headquarters in Montevideo,
Uruguay, in compiling and editing a two-volume edition of the committee‘s research.
(―Des Lebens Überfluss, 236). Very little material survives from this period.

Consultant–Office of Military Government for Germany-U.S. Zone (bulk, 1945-
1946):
Description: In early summer 1945, Loewenstein was asked by the Justice Department to
serve in the Legal Division of the Office of Military Government for Germany–U.S.
(abbreviated as OMGUS in the original records and in this finding aid). He arrived in
Berlin in July 1945 and remained until September, 1946. Loewenstein‘s work for
OMGUS is especially well documented. As a self-described ―troubleshooter‖ in the
Legal Division (―Des Lebens Überfluss,‖ 253), and as a liaison to the German legal and
judicial community, Loewenstein produced dozens of reports and memoranda during his
year in Germany, many in both English and German. Nominally, these memoranda
cover a broad range of topics, from reform of the Civil Service Law, to the regulation of
parties and elections, to reform of the German marriage law. The primary focus of all his
work, however, and of that of the Legal Division more generally, was the denazification
of German law and the reconstruction of the administration of justice in the three states
(Länder) in the U.S. Zone: Bavaria, Greater Hesse, and Württemberg-Baden. One of
Loewenstein‘s first contributions to this effort was to travel throughout the U.S. Zone to
interview justices and lawyers considered candidates for positions in the reconstructed
judicial system. His typed notes from several of these interviews provide summaries of
these individuals‘ activities and affiliations during the years of Nazi rule. In most cases,
Loewenstein has included his own frank assessment of each candidate (Box 46, folders 8-
11).
Much of Loewenstein‘s formal communications with OMGUS officials took place via
reports and memoranda for which he maintained a partial index (Record of Written
Work, Box 46, folders 15, 19, and 21). The bulk of his memos were directed to Judge J.
Warren Madden, Charles Fahy, or Alvin Rockwell, each of whom led the Legal Division
during Loewenstein‘s tenure. These documents contain detailed legal analyses of the
division‘s initiatives along with Loewenstein‘s blunt assessments of the potential and real
effectiveness of a wide variety of the Military Government‘s undertakings. Researchers
interested in the formulation and implementation of denazification policies should
consult the rich material in these folders (Reports and Memoranda, Box 46, folders 16-
29) as well as the ―Denazification‖ material (Box 46, folders 51-59, and Box 47, folders
1-4). Loewenstein was also involved in the reform of legal education, particularly at the
law school of University of Munich.
Loewenstein‘s OMGUS correspondence files (Box 47, folders 5-38) include letters from
German citizens seeking assistance with the difficulties they faced in the immediate post-
war period. These form a small but rich source of information on life in Germany–and
on U.S. occupation policies–immediately after the war. These letters also contain
information about relationships among the staff of the Legal Division. Because the
letters Loewenstein received in the autumn of 1946, after he left Germany, are especially
rich in news and gossip about OMGUS, they are filed here. Correspondence beginning
January, 1947, regardless of topic, is with the general correspondence files (Subseries D).
Arrangement of OMGUS Correspondence:
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 15
Correspondence related to Loewenstein‘s work for OMGUS is divided between an
alphabetically-arranged series of folders (Box 47, folders 5-18) followed by series
arranged by month. Particularly substantive correspondence, and correspondence with
particularly prominent individuals, has been located with the alphabetical correspondence
files in Subseries D: Subseries D contains correspondence with the following
individuals, even if it relates to Loewenstein‘s work for OMGUS:
Clay, Lucius D.
Dänzer-Vanotti, Hedda
Dickman, William
Hemken, Ruth
Hirschberg, Max
Kempner, Robert
Kollreuter, Otto
Mommsen, Konrad
Niebuhr, Reinhold
Stauffer, Tom
von Berchem, Friedrich, Freiherr
Walser, Karl
Weber, Marianne
Within the chronologically-arranged OMGUS correspondence files (Box 47, folders 19 -
47), Loewenstein also had multiple or substantive exchanges with the following
correspondents: Professor F.E. Hermens, (December 1945-March 1946);
Landesgerichtpräsident Dr. Lahusen (Bremen), (regarding conditions in Bremen and the
deleterious effects of the denazification program, August, 1945); Dr. R. Wreschner
(responses to questionnaire on the background and activities of Dr. George Ziegler, June,
1945); Dr. Herbert Ruscheweyh; Geheimer Justizrat Dr. Karl Eisenberger; Staatsrat
Hans Erhard; Walter Bruns; and Max Rheinstein.
Additional OMGUS and HICOG Material
Loewenstein also kept an ―Office Diary‖ (typescript, primarily in English) throughout his
year with OMGUS. Although many entries are mundane, the 200-page diary also
contains an incisive running critical commentary on the Office of Military Government,
its personnel, and its shortcomings. An equally blunt assessment of the failures of the
Legal Division to accomplish its goals is contained in the typescript of an ―interview‖
with Loewenstein in July 1946, shortly before his departure (Reports and Memoranda,
Box 46, folder 28). Loewenstein drew heavily on his experiences in 1945-1946 for his
Harvard Law Review article, ―The Reconstruction of the Administration of Justice in
American-Occupied Germany,‖ (1948).
Loewenstein returned to Germany for portions of 1948, 1949, and 1950, where he
worked for the Civil Administration Division of OMGUS and for the Office of the U.S.
High Commissioner for Germany. The little material that survives from his activities
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 16
during this period is located after the OMGUS materials. Related correspondence may
be found in the General Correspondence files for these years (Subseries D).
Constitutional Law Advisor (1952-1955; 1961-1962):
Description: Following his particular interest in constitutional law, Loewenstein became
involved in two constitutional controversies during the 1950s and 1960s, one German
and one Japanese. In the first (1952-1954), he advised the leader of the German Social
Democratic Party, Adolf Arndt, as the latter mounted a constitutional challenge to the
signing of European Defense treaties (the Brussels Treaty and the North Atlantic Treaty)
by the Federal Republic of Germany. Loewenstein‘s own legal opinion in the matter was
submitted to the Constitutional Court in March, 1954, and he wrote about his experience
in the Yale Law Journal (―The Bonn Constitution and the European Defense Community
Treaties,‖ May, 1955: 805-839). Many of the major documents in the case are in the
collection, along with substantive correspondence between Arndt and Loewenstein
(1952-1955). These materials are primarily in German. Almost ten years later, while
teaching at Kyoto University on a Fulbright Fellowship (1961-1962), Loewenstein
became an advisor to the Japanese Constitutional Reform Commission. He provided
written commentary on the work of the Commission and advised its members as they
prepared to solicit input from foreign scholars on possible revision of the constitution.
Loewenstein‘s primary points of contact on the Commission were its Chairman, Kenzo
Takayanagi, and Councilor Ichiro Otomo. The latter materials (in English, German, and
Japanese) comprise .75 linear feet, or 27 folders.
Subseries D: Correspondence
Description: For most of his life, Loewenstein carried on extensive correspondence with
colleagues, friends, and associates. A significant proportion of the correspondence
consists of letters to or from family, friends, and acquaintances from the period before
1933. The letters also document Loewenstein‘s personal experience of the critical year
of 1933, when he and thousands of other Jews sought to emigrate from Germany.
Loewenstein‘s post-1933 correspondence includes letters to fellow scholars, presidents,
and congressional representatives that document many of his intellectual and political
concerns. Loewenstein also wrote to private persons he had never met (e.g., Hannah
Arendt), sometimes including a copy of one of his publications.
Arrangement: The correspondence files are arranged in three groups:
Alphabetical correspondence files
Chronological correspondence files
Topical correspondence files
Alphabetical correspondence files
Description: These files include correspondence with family members, friends,
associates, acquaintances, and others between 1906 and 1973. They include letters from
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 17
scholars and artists with connections to Munich, Paris, or Heidelberg in the 1910s and
1920s, including Thomas Mann, Lyonel and Julia Feininger, Otto Crusius, Max and
Marianne Weber, Thomas Mann translator Lavinia Mazzucchetti, and Julien Reinach.
The collection also includes several letters from the Annales historian Lucien Febvre and
from his assistant, Lucie Varga, as well as letters from the playwright Alfred Neumann.
Correspondents from German academic and political circles included Otto Kollreuter,
Theodor Maunz, Gerhard Leibholz, Konrad Mommsen, Theodor Heuss, Karl Walser,
Reinhold Maier, and Adolf Arndt, among many others. Loewenstein‘s interest in British
constitutional history and politics led to correspondence with Harold Laski and Sir Ivor
Jennings. The collection also contains two lengthy letters (1959) from Loewenstein‘s
former student (and British intelligence officer) George Kennedy Young. American
correspondents included Felix Frankfurter, Louis Brandeis, Edward R. Murrow, William
Draper Lewis, Howard Shapar, C.J. Friedrich, and E.M. Kirkpatrick.
Arrangement: Alphabetical correspondent files are arranged by the last name of the
correspondent. Except as noted in the folder listing, all correspondence files contain
incoming and outgoing correspondence. In those instances where an envelope has been
retained, it has been placed immediately before the letter it contained. The arrangement
of correspondence within each folder may not be chronological.
Chronological correspondence files
Description: These files contain general correspondence (1908-1973) touching on a wide
variety of topics and concerns. Some of Loewenstein‘s earliest cards and letters
document his months at the University of Paris in 1911 and his experience in the German
infantry in 1915. The chronological correspondence files after 1933 contain a fairly full
picture of Loewenstein‘s daily life, chronicling arrangements for public appearances,
conference participation, and minor business dealings. While most of Loewenstein‘s
correspondence with his publishers is contained in Subseries B–Publications and
Research, the files in this subseries contain some records of those relationships.
Arrangement: Most of the chronological correspondence files are arranged by year
quarter (i.e., Jan – Mar, 1950). In some cases, a folder contains an entire year of
correspondence. Incoming and outgoing correspondence are filed together. In those
instances where an envelope has been retained, it has been placed immediately before the
letter it contained. The arrangement of correspondence within each folder may not be
chronological.
Topical correspondence files
Description: Reflecting Loewenstein‘s own organization of his correspondence, a small
number of topically-arranged correspondence files document his relationships with
specific institutions (e.g., Amherst College, The Max Weber Archive), or his specific
concerns. These files include correspondence from 1942-1972. Note that
correspondence with specific institutions over a brief time span may be located with the
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 18
chronologically-arranged correspondence files (e.g., Universität München, Employment
and dismissal – 1931 – 1933, Box 53, Folder 23).
Arrangement: Topical correspondence files have been placed in approximate
chronological order, with Amherst College-related material grouped together. As above,
in those instances where an envelope has been retained, it has been placed immediately
before the letter it contained. The arrangement of correspondence within each folder may
not be chronological.

files)
Subseries E: Teaching
Subseries J: Personal Legal and Financial Papers (correspondence regarding German
restitution claim, property disputes)
Series 3 and 4 (correspondence from parents, Otto and Mathilda Loewenstein)
Subseries E: Teaching
Description: This subseries contains course outlines, lecture notes, exams, bibliographies,
printed teaching materials, and teaching-related correspondence gathered over the course
of Loewenstein‘s long teaching career (1931-1970). Student papers, rosters, and
evaluations are also located here.
Notes for and transcripts of many of Loewenstein‘s public lectures are also in this
subseries. While Loewenstein taught at Amherst for twenty-five years, he also taught or
lectured at numerous other academic institutions in the U.S. and abroad. He taught
broadly in the fields of political science, government, public law, constitutional law, and
international and comparative law.
Arrangement: Folder titles in this subseries preserve Loewenstein‘s organization of his
lecture notes. Thus some folders of lecture notes provide the course title (e.g., ―Political
Science 23‖), while others indicate where the lectures were given (―Germany – Lecture
Notes, 1948-1949‖). An attempt has been made to place the folders in approximate
chronological order, but some folders contain lecture notes that span several years.
Subseries F: Law Practice
Description: Loewenstein practiced law in Munich from 1919 until his immigration to the
U.S. in 1933. According to his memoir, he left 2000 case files in Germany and these
were destroyed. In 1939, shortly after acquiring U.S. citizenship, he was admitted to the
Massachusetts Bar and began accepting cases from U.S. clients. His practice was never
extensive, however, and he often acted as a consultant only. This subseries includes
materials from seventeen cases that originated before his departure for the U.S. and
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 19
thirteen that originated between 1940 and 1963. Loewenstein‘s multilingualism and
understanding of both German and U.S. law made his services valuable to German
citizens whose concerns required interaction with the U.S. legal system. Loewenstein
assisted and consulted on a variety of cases, primarily restitution cases, property disputes,
and divorce cases. These materials also document Loewenstein‘s involvement with legal
professional organizations.
Arrangement: The legal case and correspondence files are arranged in approximate
chronological order.
Subseries G: Recordings
Description: The small collection of recordings in the collection include two aluminum
disc recordings of a radio lecture by Loewenstein given on 20 March 1936 as part of
W.E.V.D‘s ―University of the Air.‖ Loewenstein‘s lecture, ―Functional Representation
and a Parliament of Industry,‖ was recorded off the air by Audio-Scriptions, Inc. and
marketed to him by the company. Sleeves 4-6 contain three undated shellac discs. Discs
labelled ―Set #1‖ appear to be a recording of Loewenstein interviewing Howard Shapar
(AC 45) and another individual about their experiences as part of the U.S. occupation
forces in Germany after 1945. The last item is a cassette tape recording of a memorial
tribute to Loewenstein that aired on the Radio of the University of Mexico (undated).
Related material:
Subseries D: Correspondence, University of the Air, 1935-1936 (Box 52, Folder 65)
Subseries H: Fiction and Poetry
Description: While pursing his professional career as an academic and legal consultant,
and his passion for music, Loewenstein found time to record observations on life and to
write fiction and poetry. With the exception of the poetry, which includes writings from
1912, these writings appear be from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The correspondence in
this subseries includes evidence of Loewenstein‘s efforts to publish his creative work.
Arrangement: With the exception of some of the poetry, which was found with mixed
material elsewhere in the collection, the arrangement reflects Loewenstein‘s organization
and labeling of these materials.
Subseries I: The Baron Gleichen-Russwurm Case
Description: In 1929, Loewenstein acted as defense attorney when charges of insurance
fraud were brought against Karl Alexander, Baron von Gleichen-Russwurm (great
grandson of Friedrich Schiller). Gleichen-Russwurm had inherited a valuable pearl
necklace, which he insured and claimed to have sent to a Munich jeweler to be
refurbished. The jeweler instead reported having received a dead mouse in the packet
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 20
sent by the Baron. The case was made famous when Thomas Mann incorporated it into
his novel, Doktor Faustus. In 1959, Loewenstein, apparently intending to write his own
story about the case, began trying to gather materials about it and composed a story
outline. His own records of the case had been destroyed. This subseries contains
Loewenstein‘s summary of the case, along with information about it that he gathered
from various sources. The latter includes a one hundred and forty-five page
psychoanalytic and neurological evaluation of Baron von Gleichen-Russwurm that was
conducted by Dr. Ernst Speer in 1928-1929 and submitted to the court as expert
testimony (Gutachten) in support of Loewenstein‘s (unsuccessful) insanity defense.
The expert testimony, correspondence, and most of the clippings in this subseries are in
German; Loewenstein‘s notes and summary are in English. Some clippings, a second
story synopsis, and a poem filed here all appear to be unrelated to the case. Likewise, the
relation to the case of the three photographs, in an envelope labeled ―Warburg, July (?)
1958‖ is unclear. The original photographs have been filed in Subseries L (Photographs).
Subseries J: Personal Legal and Financial Records
Description: Throughout his life, Loewenstein devoted considerable energy to managing
his financial affairs. His scrupulous attention to detail sharpened his petty financial
disputes (recorded in the correspondence files), and his significant ones, including a bitter
legal dispute with his brother Alfred after the death of their mother, and a claim for
restitution against the postwar government of Munich. Loewenstein was also involved in
a dispute with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Because of the significance of these
events in Loewenstein‘s life, his financial records have been retained.
Arrangement: General materials have been placed first, followed by records of specific
financial disputes and claims. Bank statements, correspondence regarding banking and
stocks, and income tax records are at the end of the subseries. The materials in Boxes 69,
70, and 71 have been processed only at the box level and remain in their original folders
or envelopes.
Subseries K: Collections
Description: Following his love of music, Karl Loewenstein appears to have retained
programs for most of the musical performances he attended. More than half of the
ephemera collection consists of programs for concerts given in Germany and other
European venues between 1902 and 1933. The remaining programs are for concert and
theater performances in the U.S. and abroad. The programs vary widely with regard to
format, size, condition, and production quality. The hand-painted wooden model train in
the collection appears to have been a memento of Loewenstein‘s youth in Munich, when
Lyonel Feininger and his father spent hours building and decorating model trains at the
Loewenstein‘s home. The remaining items in the subseries include a postcard collection
and an assortment of drawings and prints.
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 21
Arrangement: The train and the postcards have been placed first, in a small flat box and a
postcard box, respectively. The concert and theater programs (in approximate
chronological order) follow in tall archives boxes. The remaining material is in
separately numbered oversize boxes.

Subseries L: Photographs, ca. 1870-1969
Description: Although relatively small in number, the photographs provide an inclusive
document of Loewenstein‘s ancestry and life stages. The earliest photographs in the
collection include portraits of Loewenstein‘s parents and grandparents and pictures of
family residences in Ellwangen. Only one photograph exists from the period 1916-1936.
Photographs from 1937-1969 were contained in a scrapbook consisting of material pasted
onto notebook paper. The scrapbook, which provides a thorough documentation of
Loewenstein‘s career, is located in Subseries A. It appears to have been created and
maintained by Piroska Loewenstein. Photographs from the scrapbook have been
removed and placed here, along with a photocopy of the original scrapbook page and any
captioning it contained.
Related Material:
Series 3, Otto Loewenstein Collection.
Subseries M: Pamphlet, Offprint, and Manuscript Collection
Description and Arrangement:
This subseries is organized into three groups:
Typescript documents sent or given to Loewenstein by colleagues and friends.
Manuscripts from unknown authors are included here.
Constitutions: Loewenstein‘s interest in comparative constitutional law
throughout his scholarly career led him to amass a diverse collection of printed
constitutions. The constitutions are largely in pamphlet form, although a few are
represented here in typescript translations, for example, a provisional constitution
of Poland from 1947. Included in the collection are constitutions from Uruguay
(several versions), Brazil (several versions), Guatemala, Romania, the U.S.S.R,
Greece, Spain, Siam, the Free State of Fiume/Italian Regency of Quarnero,
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 22
Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovak Republic, Iceland, Costa Rica, Hungary,
Poland, France, Ireland, the United States of Mexico (1917), Argentina, Pakistan,
Puerto Rico, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Venezuela, and the Republic of Italy.
Some of the constitutions were produced at least partly for propaganda purposes,
as with the English translation of the constitution of Soviet Union from 1936,
replete with captioned black and white photographs. Some additional
constitutions are represented in English translation, but many are in the language
the corresponding country. Most of these dated pamphlets were published in the
1940s and 1950s; the earliest text is a reprint of the Uruguayan constitution of
1830.
Newspapers, Pamphlets and Offprints: A small number of Hungarian-language
newspapers from 1939 were found in the collection. Due to their fragile
condition, most could not be unfolded and they have been boxed and placed with
these printed materials.
Loewenstein collected a large number of pamphlets and article offprints over the
course of his career. Many were from colleagues in his field or in related fields
and were inscribed to Loewenstein. Loewenstein maintained correspondence
with many of these individuals. The section retains Loewenstein‘s topical
organization of these materials and leaves in place a variety printed material that
he interfiled (government documents, single periodical issues, etc.). In addition
to offprints, Loewenstein collected political and propaganda pamphlets, filing
these in his topical collections on ―National Socialism in Germany,‖ ―World War
II,‖ ―Foreign Governments and Politics,‖ ―Germany after 1945,‖ ―Peace and
Reconstruction,‖ and ―Soviet Russia and Satellites.‖
Arrangement: Items that were not assigned a topic by Loewenstein have been
filed by approximate date.
Series 2: Piroska (Rona) Loewenstein
Biographical Note and Description: Piroska Rona was born in Hungary on September 22,
1900. Little information about her life exists in the collection, although she appears to
have been living in Munich in 1933. Her marriage to Loewenstein in November, 1933,
was her second marriage. Shortly thereafter, they emigrated to the United States. From
1936 on, they made their home in Amherst and at a second home in Dover, Vermont.
Because of KL‘s poor eyesight, Piri (as she was known to family and friends) became the
driver in the family. She accompanied Loewenstein on most or all of his frequent trips
abroad. She appears to have made a favorable impression, as Loewenstein‘s
correspondents frequently asked after her warmly. She became a U.S. citizen in 1939.
Piri cared for Loewenstein‘s mother, Mathilda, after she came to live with them in
Amherst in 1935. The extensive scrapbook describing Loewenstein‘s career appears to
have been her work. There is some evidence that her mother, Malvina, came to live with
the Loewensteins in 1946. Piroska Loewenstein died on April 10, 1979.
Karl Loewenstein Papers
© 2011 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 23
Additional Hungarian newspapers are located in Boxes 82-83 and in oversize boxes.
Two illustrated books (Öt év ! , Athaeneum [1950] and Magyarorszag utikony, Budapest:
1955) have been transferred to the rare book collection.
Series 3: Otto Loewenstein Collection
Biographical Note and Description: Otto Loewenstein was born in Ellwangen, Germany
on 12 March 1859, to Leopold and Elise (Lebrecht) Löwenstein. The second of twelve
children–Leopold Lowenstein remarried in 1871, after the death of his first wife–Otto
attended Gymnasium in Stuttgart and apprenticed at a manufacturing firm in Frankfurt.
In 1879 he began work for the firm of Raff and Sons in Munich, whose proprietors were
maternal relatives. In the 1880‘s, he began producing steins and decorative metalware in
his own factory. In 1886 he married Mathilda Oppenheimer and they had three sons:
Alfred (1887), Karl (1891), and Robert (1896). Robert died in 1926. Otto Loewenstein
lived in Munich until shortly before his death in 1935. He wrote a short memoir and kept
a World War I (homefront) diary, both of which are in the collection. He shared with
Lyonel Feininger, a frequent visitor to the Loewensteins‘ home in Munich, a passion for
model train building. See Series 1, Subseries K (Collections) for the single train in the
collection. The family documents and photographs that were among Karl Loewenstein‘s
papers appear to have been collected by Otto, and they are filed here.
Arrangement: Materials in this Series are arranged in approximate chronological order.

Series 4: Mathilda (Oppenheimer) Loewenstein
Biographical Note and Description: Karl Loewenstein‘s mother, Mathilda Oppenheimer,
was born on 28 June, 1867, in Munich, daughter of Abraham and Charlotte
Oppenheimer. She married Otto Loewenstein in 1886 and bore three sons, Alfred, Karl,
and Robert. She came to live with Karl and Piroska Loewenstein in Amherst in 1935-36,
after the death of her husband. She obtained U.S. citizenship in 1944. Mathilda
Loewenstein died in September, 1946, shortly after Karl Loewenstein‘s return from
Germany and his work for the U.S. Office of Military Government. The collection
includes a selection of her school records, correspondence to Karl Loewenstein written
between 1908 and 1941, a will and notes to her children expressing final wishes, and
writings about her pet bulldog.
