Memorial Site for the Memory of the Former Jewish Community of Mattersburg

In November 2017, a memorial site for the memory of the Jewish community of Mattersburg could be opened at the location of the destroyed synagogue during a ceremony. The initiative is attributed to the association „Wir erinnern. Begegnung mit dem jüdischen Mattersburg“, whose chairman, Michael Feyer, also founded and designed the memorial site. The memorial site consists of three rusted iron pillars that refer to past, present, and future, and an iron doorframe adorned with text elements. In 1938, the National Socialists expelled the Jewish population, around 500 people, from Mattersburg and dissolved the Jewish community, which had existed since 1527. In the following years, the former Jewish quarter was also demolished.
