First synagogue in Wiener Neustadt

Allerheiligenplatz 1

The First Synagogue Wiener Neustadt was located at Allerheiligenplatz 1 until 1496/97 and was the geographical and symbolic center of the Jewish community of Wiener Neustadt .

Location and surroundings

In the southwest corner of the main square of Wiener Neustadt there is a passage to the small triangular Allerheiligenplatz, formerly Judenschulgasse. The building at Allerheiligenplatz 1 was the synagogue until the expulsion of the Jews in 1496/97 . All other facilities of a Jewish community were also assigned to the area around today's square. The rabbi's house is said to have been at Allerheiligenplatz 3 / Brodtischgasse 2 (but there is no evidence) and the hospital was at Allerheiligenplatz 4. To the west of it was the Jewish meat bank for kosher slaughter . A ritual immersion bath, the mikveh , was presumably east of the hospital. A once open channel that flowed through today's Allerheiligengasse was used to supply the meat bank.

Reuse

Roman Catholic All Saints Chapel

The burned down synagogue became a Roman Catholic analogue to the First Synagogue in Neunkirchen . House of God rebuilt with the patronage of All Saints , as indicated by the place name. This All Saints Chapel was abolished in 1784 (under Joseph II ).

Evangelical prayer house Wiener Neustadt

The building was destroyed in the town fire in 1834 and rebuilt as a Protestant prayer house by the iron merchant Christoph von Habermayer (cf. Evangelical Prayer House Wiener Neustadt ). It was a two-story building with an early historical facade.

Coffeehouse

In 1909, in the course of the construction of the Resurrection Church, the house of prayer was taken out of use and is now used as a coffee house with a pub garden .
