However, in Vienna in 1924 he took part in the international architectural competition for the construction of the Hietzingen synagogue and won it. The synagogue was built from 1926 to 1928 based on his designs with the assistance of Adolf Jelletz . The building was destroyed in the course of the November pogroms in 1938 , the remains were removed in 1939 (a memorial stele commemorates this).
In Vienna in 1932 he was involved in the creation of the Vienna Werkbundsiedlung , which was planned and organized by Josef Frank . Grünberger designed the houses at Jagdschlossgasse 80 and 82, which still exist today, adjacent to the houses Woinovichgasse 2 and 4 designed by Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and the houses at Jagdschlossgasse 76 and 78 by Josef Franz Dex .
In the United States, Grünberger worked as a film set designer, but no longer designed any buildings.
