Inschrift
Hier stand eine 1895/96 von Jakob Gartner erbaute Synagoge, ein
das Stadtbild prägender zentraler Kuppelbau. Das vom Tempel
verein Favoriten errichtete Gotteshaus wurde in der Nacht vom
9. auf den 10. November 1938 im Zuge eines vom NSRegime gegen
die jüdische Bevölkerung initiierten Pogroms - verharmlosend
als »Reichskristallnacht« bezeichnet - verwüstet und bald völlig
abgerissen. Diesem irren Rassenwahn fielen bis 1945 über 65.000
österreichische Juden und Jüdinnen zum Opfer.
Here once stood a synagogue built in 1895/96 by Jakob Gartner,
with its domed structure a distinct feature of the cityscape.
The temple erected by Tempelverein Favoriten was destroyed in
the night from 9 to 10 November 1938 during a pogrom by the NS
regime against the Jewish population - euphemistically called
"The Night of Broken Glass" - and was shortly afterwards demo
lished. Until 1945 more than 65,000 Austrian Jews fell victim to
this racial fanaticism.

Here once stood a synagogue built in 1895/96 by Jakob Gartner,
a central domed building that shaped the cityscape. The house of worship erected by the Tempelverein Favoriten was devastated in the night of 9 to 10 November 1938 in the course of a pogrom initiated by the NS regime against the Jewish population – euphemistically termed »Reichskristallnacht« – and soon completely demolished. Until 1945 more than 65,000 Austrian Jews fell victim to this mad racial obsession.
