Vienna had the largest German speaking Jewish Community, over 10% of the population was Jewish, until 1938! The Nazis destroyed flourishing lives of highly assimilated families, patrons of all arts and numerous charity institutions and as well ten thousands of orthodox jews . Most Viennese Jews lived and again live in Leopoldstadt (district 2). This is also my neighbourhood. Jewish history has always been near and dear to my heart since High school. As a tourist guide in Vienna I see it as my responsibility to focus on this topic and learn more about it each day. Vienna would not be the city it is today without it's Jewish population! Especially the decades around 1900 with the Zuckerkandls, Gallias, Lederers and many others supporting artists like Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, with music by Mahler and Schönberg, physicians like Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler and Viktor Frankl, writers like Stefan Zweig and Arthur Schnitzler living and working in this city. The list seems to be endless. . .
This tour will take you to the places related to Jewish life in Vienna's city centre like: • Jewish square where the Holocaust Memorial is located • Seitenstettengasse, where today's largest Synagoge and the Jewish Community of Vienna is located • Michaelerplatz and Kohlmarkt where many elegant shops were located and passes the Simon Wiesenthal Centre. • We will also walk across Danube canal to immerse into Jewish past and present in Leopoldstadt, where the largest temple was once located. • We will visit the remains and follow the stones of remembrance in front of houses where Jews lived and were deported from. Jewish life is back in Vienna and visible, especially in Leopoldstadt. Meeting point: Gustav Mahler & Alban Berg Denkmal at the corner of Staatsoper/Herbert von Karajan Platz (abstract aluminium monument) End of Tour: Tempelgasse, 1020 Wien Duration: 3hrs
