---

The Mendelssohn-Gesellschaft (Mendelssohn Society) is a non-profit organization based in Berlin that is dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of the influential Mendelssohn family, including philosopher Moses Mendelssohn and composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

Founded in 1967, the society supports research, publications, exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and cultural events related to the family's contributions to German intellectual, artistic, and cultural history. The society operates the Mendelssohn-Remise in Berlin's historic Jägerstraße, the former site of the Mendelssohn banking family.

This venue features a permanent exhibition on the family's history and regularly hosts cultural programs focused on music, literature, philosophy, and German-Jewish heritage. Today, the Mendelssohn-Gesellschaft serves as an important center for preserving the memory of one of Germany’s most significant families and for sharing their lasting impact on culture, scholarship, and public life.
