Stadttempel
Seitenstettengasse 4, I. District
The synagogue is
the main one in Vienna. It
was constructed from 1825 to 1826 by the
Viennese architect Joseph Kornhausel in elegant
Biedermeier
style. The luxurious Stadttempel was fitted into the
block of houses and hidden from plain view from the street. This
went back to an edict issued by Emperor Joseph II that only
Catholic places of worship were allowed to have a direct means
of entry from the street. This situation actually saved the
synagogue from total destruction during the
Reichskristallnacht
in November
1938, as the Nazis
were afraid that the whole block could go up in
flames. The other ninety-three synagogues and Jewish
prayer-houses of Vienna were badly damaged
or destroyed.
In the 1981 Vienna
synagogue attack two people were murdered and thirty
injured when Palestinian Arab terrorists attacked the synagogue
with machine guns and hand grenades.
Today the
synagogue is the main temple for the Viennese Jewish Community
of about 7,000 members.
In August 1949
the coffins of Theodor Herzl and his parents were displayed at
the synagogue, prior to their transfer for burial in Israel.
