the Middle Ages to the present day, Jewish life has significantly 

contributed to the cultural, social, and intellectual fabric of 

the city. This guide will take you on a journey through time,

museums, and monuments that tell the story of the Jewish 

community in Vienna. 

One of the unique features of Vienna is the controlled Eruv that

traditional observances to be maintained. For more detailed 

information on the Eruv's history and current status, please

Our guide also includes sections on influential figures such as 

Viktor Frankl, Sigmund Freud, and many others who have left 

an indelible mark on both Jewish and global history. Each entry

Arik 

Brauer 

Vienna was also home to Viktor 

Frankl, a neurologist, psychiatrist, 

and Holocaust survivor. 

Born in 1905, Frankl founded 

logotherapy and pioneered existential 

therapy. His experiences 

in Auschwitz shaped his belief 

in finding meaning in all forms 

of existence, detailed in "Man's 

Search for Meaning." Frankl’s 

teachings on life’s meaning continue 

to inspire globally.

ienna's cultural richness 

owes much to Jewish artists 

like Arik Brauer. Born in 

1929, Brauer was a painter, singer, 

poet, and architect whose 

work has deeply influenced Vienna. 

Brauer, a Holocaust survivor, 

studied at the Academy of Fine 

Arts in Vienna. His art, a blend of 

surrealism and Jewish heritage, 

often reflects themes of suffering 

and hope. As a founding member 

of the Vienna School of Fantastic 

Realism, Brauer significantly 

shaped Vienna’s post-war art 

scene. His works reflect personal 

history and the enduring spirit of 

Jewish culture. 

ARIK BRAUER HAUS 

On Gumpendorfer Straße, the 

Arik Brauer Haus is a testament to

Jewish figures like Arnold Schönberg. 

Born in 1874, Schönberg 

was a revolutionary composer 

who founded the Second Viennese 

School and developed the 

twelve-tone technique, transforming 

20th-century music. His 

Jewish heritage and emigration

Epstein Jewish Vienna 

has been 

shaped by 

THE EPSTEIN FAMILY 

Vienna, a city of grandeur, has 

been significantly influenced by 

its Jewish community, including 

the notable Epstein family. Originally 

from Bohemia, the Epstein 

family rose to prominence in 

19th-century Vienna, with Gustav 

Ritter von Epstein, a successful 

banker and industrialist, leading 

their influence. Their Jewish heritage 

and commitment to cultural 

and social development greatly 

impacted Vienna. 

Palais Epstein, located on the 

Ringstrasse, is a stunning example 

of the family's legacy. Built 

between 1868 and 1871 by architect 

Theophil von Hansen, the 

palace blends neo-Renaissance 

and classical styles, reflecting the 

era's elegance.

Muzicant. 

Born in 1952 in 

Haifa, Israel, and 

moving to Vienna young, Muzicant 

became a key leader in the 

Jewish community. As President 

of the Jewish Community of Vienna 

(IKG) from 1998 to 2012, 

he promoted Jewish life and 

preserved its history through the 

SAM Collection.

Sigmund 

FREUD 

© Foto Max Halberstadt 

Vienna, a city shaped by Jewish 

intellectuals, owes much to 

Sigmund Freud, the father of 

psychoanalysis. Born in 1856 in 

Freiberg, Moravia, Freud spent 

most of his life in Vienna. His 

groundbreaking theories on the 

unconscious, dream interpretation, 

and personality have profoundly 

influenced psychology 

and beyond. 

THE SIGMUND FREUD 

MUSEUM

W I E S E N T H A L 

Vienna’s deep connection to 

Jewish history is embodied in 

the work of Simon Wiesenthal, 

a Holocaust survivor and relentless 

Nazi hunter. Born in 1908 in 

what is now Ukraine, Wiesenthal 

survived multiple Nazi concentration 

camps. After the war, he 

dedicated his life to documenting 

the Holocaust and tracking 

down Nazi war criminals, ensuring 

justice was served. 

WIESENTHAL 

MUSEUM & INSTITUTE 

The Wiesenthal Museum on Rabensteig 

and the Wiesenthal Institute 

focus on Nazi crimes and 

Holocaust remembrance, standing 

as powerful reminders of the 

importance of vigilance against 

anti-Semitism and injustice.

LUDWIG 

Wittgenstein 

Ludwig Wittgenstein, born in 

1889 to a wealthy Jewish family 

in Vienna, is one of the greatest 

philosophers of the 20th century. 

His works, particularly the "Tractatus 

Logico-Philosophicus" and 

"Philosophical Investigations," 

revolutionized logic, language, 

and epistemology. Despite his 

privileged background, Wittgenstein 

faced profound intellectual 

challenges and personal struggles, 

including a complex relationship 

with his Jewish heritage. 

WITTGENSTEIN HOUSE 

The Wittgenstein House in Vienna’s 

3rd district reflects his 

unique vision and architectural 

taste. Designed by Wittgenstein 

and architect Paul Engelmann, 

the house, completed in 1928, 

exemplifies minimalist architecture 

and Wittgenstein’s philosophical 

principles.

SYNAGOGUE 

THE GREAT SYNAGOGUE - 

THE WIENER STADTTEMPEL 

In Vienna's heart lies the Wiener 

Stadttempel, a symbol of Jewish 

faith and resilience. As the city's 

main synagogue, it thrives under 

Chief Rabbi Jaron Engelmayer 

and Chief Cantor Shmuel Barzilai. 

Built in 1826, the Stadttempel 

is the only synagogue in Vienna 

to survive Kristallnacht in 1938 

due to its concealed location. 

Despite its modest exterior, the 

interior is beautifully adorned, 

reflecting the richness of Jewish 

heritage. 

WORSHIP AND COMMUNITY 

The Stadttempel remains a vibrant 

center of worship, learning, 

and community. Guided tours 

reveal its history, architecture, 

and the dynamic Jewish community 

it serves. Services led 

by Chief Rabbi Engelmayer and 

Chief Cantor Barzilai offer a 

unique glimpse into Jewish faith 

and music in Vienna.

Barzilai 

Important Art 

WORKS IN VIENNA 

"Art between 

Tradition an 

Modernity" 

Dvora Barzilai, born in 1961 

in Tel Aviv, is a renowned artist 

based in Vienna. Her work, 

encompassing painting and 

sculpture, is deeply rooted in 

her Jewish faith and cultural 

heritage. Barzilai studied under 

prominent Israeli artists and has 

exhibited her art internationally. 

Notably, her Holocaust 

memorial sculptures and the 

Shalom Sculpture Garden in 

Perchtoldsdorf stand out. Her 

art blends traditional Jewish 

themes with contemporary 

techniques, creating powerful 

and emotional pieces.

LOCATION: 

Medical University of Vienna 

9., Spitalgasse 23 

DESCRIPTION: 

This sculpture honors the Jewish 

medical professionals who were 

expelled, persecuted, or murdered 

during the Nazi era. The

the interrupted lives and careers

serves as a constant reminder of 

the destroyed science and humanity 

of that time.

DESCRIPTION: 

This memorial features Psalm 23 

in Hebrew and honors Leo Luster, 

a Holocaust survivor and active 

representative of the Jewish community 

in Austria. Luster dedicated 

his life to advocating for the 

rights of Holocaust survivors and 

initiated several remembrance 

projects. His commitment and 

tireless work are fittingly expressed 

in this memorial.

LOCATION: 

Steinhof 

14., Baumgartner Höhe 1 

DESCRIPTION: 

This memorial commemorates 

the innocent victims of the children's 

euthanasia institution "Am 

Spiegelgrund" during the Nazi 

regime. Barzilai's sculptures here 

are a powerful testimony to the 

horrors and unimaginable suffering 

endured by these children. It 

is a place of quiet remembrance 

and warning.

A JEWISH ARCHITECT WHO 

SHAPED VIENNA'S LAND- 

SCAPE 

Walking through the streets 

of Vienna, one can still feel 

the influence of a man whose 

architectural talent and deep 

connection to the Jewish community 

are integral to the city's 

history: Wilhelm Stiassny. 

Born in 1842 in Pressburg (now 

Bratislava), Stiassny made his 

way to Vienna, where he studied 

at the Technical University and 

the Academy of Fine Arts. He 

was not only an architect of remarkable 

skill but also a dedicated 

advocate for Jewish interests 

and an active city politician.

Here are some of his most

the Jewish community 

and the city of Vienna.

Born in 1844, Fraenkel honed 

his skills at the renowned
