Fast 25 Synagogen repräsentierten einst die Vielfalt jüdischen Sakralbaus in Wien.Vor 1900 war die jüdische Gemeinde in Wien zur drittgrößten Europas herangewachsen. Fast jeder Bezirk besaß einen Tempel. Die neuen Synagogen mussten sich erst im Stadtbild behaupten, meist standen nur Baulücken in engeren Gassen zur Verfügung. Der Band erinnert mithilfe von virtuellen Rekonstruktionen und zahlreichen Ansichten an diese Sakralbauten, die fast alle während des Novemberprogroms 1938 zerstört wurden. Almost 25 synagogues once represented the diversity of Jewish sacred architecture in Vienna. Before 1900, the Jewish community in Vienna had grown to become the third largest in Europe. Almost every district had a temple. The new synagogues had to assert themselves in the cityscape, mostly only vacant lots in narrow streets were available. The volume recalls these sacred buildings with virtual reconstructions and numerous views, almost all of which were destroyed during the November program of 1938.
