Joodse wandeltocht door Wenen
Beschrijving
Vanaf de middeleeuwen was de Joodse gemeenschap in Wenen een van de grootste van Europa. Deze 2,5 uur durende Joodse Wenen tour verkent de tumultueuze ervaringen van de Joodse burgers van Wenen door middel van verdrijving, genocide en opwekking. Uw geschiedkundige gids zal u helpen om de invloedrijke bijdragen van intellectuele en culturele iconen uit het verleden en de fragiele revitalisering van de Joodse gemeenschap van Wenen die vandaag plaatsvindt te ontdekken. We beginnen buiten de Joodse Stadstempel voordat we door de tweede wijk kronkelen naar de verwoeste Leopoldstädter Tempel. Tijdens een bezoek aan het Nestroyhof Theater met zijn prachtige Art Nouveau buitenkant, ooit de thuisbasis van Jiddisch sprekende ensembles, reflecteren we op briljante leiders van de intellectuele, politieke en economische sferen van Wenen uit de Joodse gemeenschap: Sigmund Freud, Theodor Herzl, Karl Krauss, Franz Werfel en Gustav Mahler. Vernemend over de slachtoffers en overlevenden van de nazi-genocide, bezoeken we verwoeste Asjkenazische en Sefardische synagogen en het Holocaustmonument Judenplatz.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Buiten de prachtige deuren van de Joodse stadstempel bekijken we hoe de Weense Joodse Gemeenschap hun synagogen vanaf de straat nauwelijks zichtbaar moest houden, ondanks hun invloedrijke rol in de ontwikkeling van hun stad door de eeuwen heen. Er zijn maar weinig Europese steden zo nauw verweven met de Joodse geschiedenis als Wenen. Buiten deze belangrijke tempel leren we over het joodse leven en de toenemende nederzetting in Wenen vanaf de middeleeuwen, ondanks dramatische verdrijvingen. We bezoeken het binnenland niet, maar we raden je aan contact op te nemen met de synagoge om een rondleiding te regelen met hun eigen gidsen, geopend van april tot oktober, van maandag tot donderdag. Als je de synagoge-tour van 11:30 uur op maandag neemt en daarna geniet van je lunch, ben je op de perfecte plek om onze tour van 14:00 uur door Joods Wenen te beginnen. Als je de synagogetour van 14:00 uur op dinsdag en donderdag maakt, past deze goed na onze dinsdag- en donderdagtour van 9:30 uur met een lunchpauze.
We beschouwen de invloed van de moderne Joodse gemeenschap van Wenen op elk aspect van het culturele leven van de stad van buiten het Nestroyhof Theater met zijn prachtige art nouveau-buitenkant, ooit de thuisbasis van Jiddisch sprekende ensembles.
Kronkelend door het tweede district van Wenen, om de gedenkplaats van de verwoeste Leopoldstädter-tempel te bezoeken. Tegenwoordig wordt het gesymboliseerd door vier imposante witte kolommen die tot in de lucht reiken.
Kom meer te weten over de slachtoffers en overlevenden van de nazi-genocide en het fenomeen van antisemitisme in Europa tijdens een bezoek aan de verwoeste synagogen van zowel Ashkenazische als Sefardische gemeenten en het Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial.

This was a fabulous 2.5 hr tour! Annalie, our guide was excellent! She was knowledgeable about the history of Jewish communities through the ages as well as cultural info you wouldnt find in history books. She was able to answer all of our questions and due to her varied background had personal knowledge and experiences to share. Her English was excellent making listening to her easy. This was a private tour for 4 of us and initially we thought it was very expensive. However, at the end of the tour we all agreed it was worth it. Additionally, this was not just a recitation of all the traumas, though this was discussed in a straightforward manner, but also of all of the contributions Viennese Jewish citizens made to Austria and the world. It was a refreshing and interesting take on a Jewish walking tour. I highly recommend it.

We had the pleasure of touring "Jewish Vienna" with guide Annelie on 8/21/2025. Unfortunately, an accident on a major roadway held up traffic and prevented Annelie from meeting us on time. However, she called us, kept us informed and went out of her way to "make it up" for us. Annelie was everything you would want a tour guide to be, engaging and well informed on the subject matter. In addition to pointing out and explaining key sites she augmented her talk by showing us pictures in a binder of what key sites and people looked like in the past. The tour was small - my husband and I and two others, and Annelie checked in with all of us periodically to ensure she was addressing our interests and answering our questions. She also answered questions about some sites we were looking to find/experience after the tour. Thank you Annelie and Viator for helping us to experience Jewish Vienna.
Thank you for taking the time to review. We're proud to work with such terrific guides. Hope to see you again on Insight Cities tours in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg. Please tell your friends!
