The following took out German citizenship papers in Schocken in 1834 / 1835. There were restrictions on who could do so at this time, so the list is not a complete list of Jewish families at the time:
Hirsch Abraham, Baer Aschheim, Isaac Engel, Salomon Goerdel, Lewin Jastrow, Julius Last, Jacob Lecker, Philipp Meyer, Isaac Ohlenburg (Rabbi), Baer Rothmann, Elias Rothmann, Joseph Wyprutt.

Jette was born in Schocken in 1814, the daughter of Israel Flanter and his wife Susanna [maiden name not known]. Jette married Falk / Wolff Praeger from Posen and lived in Posen with her husband and children.

Thank you Peter. The list you provided is also more completely available in The Naturalized Jews of the Grand Duchy of Posen in 1834 ad 1835, Revised Edition, Compiled by Edward David Luft, published by Avotaynu in 2004. Available from Avotaynu in paperback for about $50 USD.

In this book each name is accompanied by the actual date of the Patent, the Profession, and the Family and Given name as well as the Domicile. Listed by Town. It was not possible for Jews to be given full citizenship but they were granted some additional rights by the completing the paperwork, paying the fees, and a proof of German language skills and record keeping of their business in German.

Dr. Luft isa member of Geni at this time. His book is a English version of Isidor Hirschberg's book dated 1836 in Bromberg.

On Geni you will find a Profile of the main instigator of the Naturalization process, Eduard Flottwell. Here: Heinrich EDUARD von Flottwell

Additional comments about this resource are on the main page of the Project for Posen.

Some commentators suggest that the Naturalization of educated businessmen and women was the key event in their release and escape from poverty and the ghetto;s of 1835's Posen.
