Jewish Museum Judenplatz
MEDIEVAL SEARCH FOR TRACESTHE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF THE MIDDLE AGES
was one of the largest in Europe. From the 13th century onwards, a Jewish quarter with a magnificent synagogue was located where Judenplatz is today.
Vienna developed into a center of Jewish knowledge, where important rabbis were active.
In 1420/1421 Albrecht II ordered the expulsion and murder of the Jewish population ("Geserah").

reconstructs the former Jewish quarter,
its synagogue and
