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.

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).

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.

Older Jewish Cemetry of Eisenstadt

The oldest gravestone of the older Jewish cemetry of Eisenstadt (at the end of the Wertheimergasse) dates back to 1679 and was in use until 1875. Today there are still more than 1.100 grave stones that can be seen at this cemetry. Today the original entrance to the cemetry doen't exist and it's split into two halfs. Due to the research of the Austrian Jewish Museums one can easily find the names of those who are buried here via QR-Code. The keys to the cemetry can be found either at the Austrian Jewish Museum (Unterbergstraße 6) or at the doorman of the hospital (Carl-Moreau-Straße).
