English term or phrase: curiae
Hi, here is the sentence from the paper I am translating on the Jewish Question. The sentence contains what I believe the wrong spelling of the word and what I put as the word I am asking for help with, is what I think the word should be. Now I am happy to be corrected, if I've got it wrong and the text contains the right word.
My question would be, if you could use "curia" also in German.

One consequence of this admittedly modest latitude in state and society’s definition of Jews was to open up space for Jewish nationalists to promote their cause by means of a strategic focus on neuralgic points in the body politic, such as recognition of Yiddish as a language of use in the decennial census or in correspondence with government bureaucracy; separate voting curaie for Jews; or permission to register one’s nationality as “Jewish” at universities
