cze	19th century discussions about the Talmudic origin of Hevra Kaddisha in German-speaking area	At the end of the 19th century emerged in German-language environment two big discussion about the Talmudic origin of Hevra Kaddisha – burial society. The first one took place in the years 1888- 1889 on the pages of magazines Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums and Die Neuzeit, and the second one between 1891-1893 in the journal Oesterreichische Wochenschrift. Groups of contributors of both discussions are quite heterogenous. The most of them did not devoted to this theme systematically, neither paid attention to then-current topics related to Hevra Kaddisha. Their discussions are also largely ignored by later scientists dealing with this issue. In my paper I will argue, that their efforts to prove Talmudic origins of this association could be affected on one side by connecting of Hevra Kaddisha with the nascent Jewish orthodoxy and on the other hand by the struggle against anti-Semitism.
