Eisenstadt Jewish Quarter

The first evidence of the presence of Jews in Eisenstadt was found as early as the 13th century. In this settlement, according to documents from the 16th century, there was already a prayer house, a ritual bath and a cemetery. Visible remains have not been preserved.

Sites

State Museum of Burgenland

The Sándor Wolf Memorial Room is located in this museum and was established in honour of Sándor Wolf, who is considered to be the founding father of the State Museum of Burgenland. Lore Lizbeth Waller was a grandniece of Sándor Wolf. She talks about her summer stays in this house at the video channel of the Research Society Burgenland (http://www.forschungsgesellschaft.at/interviews/eisenstadt.html).

Sites

Austrian Jewish Museum and Wertheimer Family Synagogue

The Austrian Jewish Museum was very fortunate to be able to settle in a historic building of the former Jewish quarter of Eisenstadt. The museum is located in a place where a notable Jewish community settled for more than 250 years. The museum was founded in 1972 as the first Jewish museum in Austria after 1945. During a visit, you can not only see the former private synagogue and the museum's collections, but also catch a glimpse of the old houses of the Jewish quarter and the two Jewish cemeteries.

Tours of Eisenstadt

Eisenstadt at First Glance City Walk

If you would like to take a closer look at the city of the great composer Joseph Haydn, this is the perfect tour for you to discover the castle of the Counts of Esterházy and learn more about the life and the work of Joseph Haydn. Also, we will have a look at the famous Jewish quarters of Eisenstadt.

Day trip from Vienna: Fun, Art, Food & Culture

We will leave early morning to explore the most peaceful and relatively unknown part of Austria. Vienna woods is just a few minutes away and so different. Lets plan some amazing photo-stops and lets walk a little bit around the tranquil area. After a scenic drive through the southern vine street, we will reach BADEN - former residence city of the Habsburg family. After a coffee break we will continue to Forchtenstein castle. It is the only fortress in eastern Austria, that was never captured during the Turkish wars. The strong walls served as the treasury of the Esterhazy's princes, safeguarding all costly and precious possessions. This collection of family treasures and way more, can still be seen there today. Next stop will be the charming city of Eisenstadt, capital of Burgenland. Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt is one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Austria and presents a fascinating view of the resplendent life once lived at the court of the Princes Esterházy. But the palace is still the hub of the cultural scene today and regularly provides the picturesque backdrop for festivities and social events. Only a few minutes to recover, because the next sight is a "bloody window to Hungary's past". The iron curtain memorial!!!!!! The end of the soviet empire! See the place where the iron curtain was opened in 1989, even before the wall in Berlin was destroyed. Burgenland and Hungary share the Neusiedler See, a lake known for its reeds and shallowness, as well as its mild climate throughout the year. The Neusiedler See is Austria's largest lake, and is a great tourist attraction, bringing ornithologists, sailors, and wind and kite surfers into the region north of the lake. We will spend the rest of the day at and on the lake. Your personal, private guide, will now be your captain. The boat ride is included - does not have extra costs. Unique experience - explore Lake Neusiedl like a local, together with your captain Peter. Especially for families with KIDS a most entertaining excursion. Bring your sun glasses, sun cream and don't forget your swimwear. Enjoy the superior service and the personal atmosphere of this unique private tour to Austrias east and Hungary!

Jewish Quarter and Museum Group Tour

The Austrian Jewish Museum was very fortunate to be able to set up itself in a historic building in Eisenstadt's former Judengasse . It is therefore located in a place where a well-known Jewish community was settled for more than 250 years. The museum was founded in 1972 as the first Jewish museum in Austria after 1945. During a visit you can not only see the oldest synagogue in Austria preserved in its original function and the museum collections , but also get an impression of the old 'Jewish houses' and the two Jewish cemeteries . We are happy to offer guided tours for groups of 10 or more, both for the museum and for the Jewish quarter with the two Jewish cemeteries.

Tina Lackner

Everything I do, I do it with passion. In order to understand the past, we must analyze it, make it tangible, and bring the past to life. I grew up in Slovenia, but moved to Austria to study music, and settled down in this beautiful country where I met my husband. We are parents to three sweet children - Jakob, Frida and Greta. Our family loves living in Austria, but we are also thankful to have had an amazing experience living in the United States for several months. Since 2012, I have enjoyed working for the Esterhazy Foundation. Learning about the historical estate of Dr. Paul V. Esterházy, the last reigning prince led to my passion for sharing Austria’s past. Studying to become a state-certified tour guide allowed me to make that dream a reality. My goal is to inspire you with the past. Take a walk with me through centuries of Austrian history.
