Experience Jewish Vienna with ivie
Since the Middle Ages, the Jewish community has had a profound influence on Vienna, shaping its culture, science, and business. Around 1900, Vienna even had one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe. World-renowned Jewish personalities such as Sigmund Freud and Arnold Schönberg worked in Vienna before being driven out by the Nazis in the 1930s. Vienna was also the home of Theodor Herzl, who was the founder of political Zionism and is regarded as the spiritual father of Israel. This guide will lead you to the most important sites of Jewish Vienna.

Exceptional museums await, such as the Jewish Museum Vienna, the Sigmund Freud Museum and the Viktor Frankl Museum, as well as memorials such as the Shoah Wall of Names – Vienna’s newest and largest Holocaust memorial, which was completed in 2021.
The Karmeliterviertel with its Jewish character is also featured in this guide, as are cemeteries with special atmospheres, such as the Old Jewish Cemetery at the Vienna Central Cemetery and the mysterious Rossau Jewish Cemetery. The grave in which Theodor Herzl was originally buried in 1904 is also on the route – and ivie reveals why this grave is empty today. The Jewish Vienna guide also honors Herzl’s most important colleague, Viennese architect Oskar Marmorek. His designs include the famous Rüdigerhof.
