“Im Jahre 1902 errichtete die israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wiener Neustadt an dieser Stelle nach Planen des Wiener Architekten Wilhelm Stiassny eine repräsentative Synagoge in maurischen Stil. Ähnlich wie viele andere Synagogen des Landes ist auch die Wiener Neustädter Synagoge an 9. November 1938 von National Sozialisten devastiert und entweiht worden. Durch die darauffolgende gewaltsane (sic) Vertreibung der Juden aus der Stadt hörte die israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wiener Neustadt zu bestehen auf. Nach Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges wurde die beschädigte ehemalige Synagoge abgetragen.” (In 1902, the Jewish community of Wiener Neustadt built at this location a representative synagogue in the Moorish style, based on plans by Viennese architect Wilhelm Stiassny. Like many other synagogues in the country, the Wiener Neustadt synagogue was devastated and desecrated by the National Socialists during the Pogrom of 9–10 November 1938. The Jewish community of Wiener Neustadt ceased to exist following the violent expulsion of Jews from the city. The damaged former synagogue was torn down completely in 1952.) Photo, 17 Jun 2024.
