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.
