Jewish walking tour Vienna

Complement your knowledge about Jewish heritage in general also by exploring Jewish Vienna! We know about Jewish life in Vienna since the Medieval Ages. The city was one of the most prominent centres of Jewish culture in Europe until the National-Socialist rule in Austria. It was the Jewish community that contributed mostly to making Vienna the cultural and scientific capital of Europe around 1900. On this 2. 5 hour private walking tour you will learn about the very first Jewish community at Judenplatz, where a Holocaust Memorial stands there since year 2000; Morzinplatz and the Jewish textile Quarter connected with the Nazi period. We will explore neighborhoods in Leopoldstadt, the center of Jewish life in Vienna since centuries. On our route is also the latest Shoah Memorial, erected 2021, the Namewalls Memorial (Shoah-Namensmauern-Gedenkstätte). I would like to share with you my enthusiasm for our Jewish heritage and its importance for Vienna. A sense of humor complements my narrative.
