prehistory

The building at Allerheiligenplatz 1 was the First Synagogue of Wiener Neustadt until the expulsion of the Jews in 1496/97 . All other facilities of a Jewish community ( rabbi house , hospital, meat bank , mikveh ) were probably in the immediate vicinity.

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 ). In 1834 it burned down in the great city fire.

The former Carmelite Church served as the first Protestant prayer house from 1787 .

The building was destroyed in the town fire in 1834 and rebuilt as a Protestant prayer house by the iron merchant Christoph von Habermayer. The first service took place on May 28, 1837 with Superintendent Christian Heyser from Vienna. The two-storey building with an early historical facade was taken out of use as a prayer house in 1909 during the construction of the Resurrection Church and is now used as a coffee house with a pub garden .
