    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the Moabit Klostersturm, an event in 1869 when the attempt of a group of Dominicans to open an orphanage in Moabit in Berlin, Germany, was met with violence, which was a key precipitator for the coming culture war that led to laws targeting Catholics from 1872 to 1878. Topics covered include how the scandal concerning clergy and sexual abuse led to tensions, and the tension that was created between the dominant Protestant powers and the minority Catholics.
