Memorial to the Destruction of the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph Jubilee Temple

On July 5, 2011, an installation was unveiled in the 5th district in memory of the association synagogue of the Israelite Temple Association for the districts of Wieden and Margareten. The synagogue was inaugurated in 1908 and destroyed by National Socialists during the November Pogroms in 1938. The initiative for the erection of the memorial was taken by citizens from Margareten, and it was finally carried out under the guidance of the cultural association "Margareten Aktiv". In the design, architecture student Benedikt Außermair was inspired by an idea of Hans Kupelwieser and his memorial "Standpunkt Geschichte". The view through the glass panel, on which a photo of the undestroyed temple is inscribed, towards their former location allows for a connection between the past and the present.
