Synagogue Seitenstettengasse Vienna

Construction period: 1824 - 1826 Architect: Josef Kornhäusel Architectural style: revolutionary classicist and baroque influences, very significant in terms of art history! Capacity: First synagogue built in Vienna after the Tolerance Patent came into effect. In accordance with the regulations of the time for acatholic sacred buildings, the domed building is hidden behind a house facade. The interior was remodeled and modernized several times. In November 1938 the interior was badly damaged, but not destroyed so as not to endanger the surrounding apartment buildings, with which the synagogue forms a common block. Since 1945 it has been in regular use again. At this synagogue worked: 1826 - 1938 Preacher Isaac Noah Mannheimer Ob.-Rab. Dr. Adolf Jelinek Ob.-Rab. Dr. Moritz Güdemann Ob.-Rab. Prof. Dr. Zwi Perez Chajes Ob.-Rab. Dr. David Feuchtwang and Ob.-Rab. Dr. Israel Taglicht From 1948 Ob.-Rab. Prof. Dr. Akiba Eisenberg Ob.-Rab.
