Description

During our Jewish city stroll, we will immerse ourselves in the vibrant history of Vienna's third Jewish community (18th-20th century) and explore the significant role of influential Jewish personalities in both the Austrian monarchy and the broader European context. These remarkable individuals played a crucial role in realizing Emperor Franz's dream of establishing a Via Triumphalis, adding a captivating chapter to Vienna's rich cultural tapestry. On this enlightening tour, we'll traverse Vienna's iconic Ringstraße, a boulevard of architectural marvels that once served as the stage for Vienna's Jewish community to thrive. Learn about the Jewish intellectuals, artists, and entrepreneurs who left an indelible mark on the city's landscape and culture during this period. Discover how they contributed to Vienna's rise as a cosmopolitan center of arts, science, and commerce. These famous personalities include families like Mandl, Herzl, Wertheim, Blochbauer and many more. Our journey will unveil the stories behind grand landmarks such as the Lueger Monument, Herzl Square, Palais Coburg, Lehar Monument, Parkring, Schwarzenbergplatz, Hotel Imperial, Musikverein, Palais Gomberts and Palais Todesco. Delve into the lives of luminaries like Theodor Herzl, founder of modern political Zionism, and Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, whose intellectual pursuits reshaped the world. Explore the poignant legacy of Jewish Viennese culture, that shaped Austrian culture tremendously. Understand the challenges faced by this community during periods of social and political upheaval, including the rise of anti-Semitism leading up to World War II. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of Vienna's Jewish heritage, where every street corner reveals a story of resilience, creativity, and cultural enrichment. This tour is a tribute to the enduring spirit of Vienna's Jewish community and their enduring impact on the city's past and present.
