Privé Joodse wandeltocht door Wenen
Beschrijving
Vanaf de middeleeuwen was de joodse gemeenschap in Wenen een van de grootste van Europa. Deze 3 uur durende Joodse Wenen-tour verkent de tumultueuze ervaringen van de Joodse burgers van Wenen door verdrijving, genocide en opwekking. Uw historicusgids zal u helpen om de invloedrijke bijdragen van intellectuele en culturele iconen uit het verleden en de kwetsbare revitalisering van de Joodse gemeenschap in Wenen die vandaag plaatsvindt te ontdekken. We beginnen buiten de Joodse stadstempel voordat we door het tweede district slingeren naar de verwoeste Leopoldstädter-tempel. Bij 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. We horen de slachtoffers en overlevenden van de nazi-genocide en bezoeken verwoeste Asjkenazische en Sefardische synagogen en het Judenplatz Holocaustmonument.
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.

We did not think the tour guide had either a deep feeling or knowledge ior Jewish culture in Vienna—the topic of our tour. We learned much more by ourselves in an hour on the fourth floor of the Leopold museum. The guide was well meaning and earnest (and amiable) but we didn’t think he was qualified to give that particular tour.
We are terribly sorry to read this review. We're usually so proud of our Jewish Vienna tour and the normally marvelous reviews! We took a risk on a new member of our team and, unfortunately, we overestimated his knowledge of this important subject because of the depth of his knowledge on many other topics in Vienna. Sorry for what is a rare fail in vetting our experts appropriately. I would like to offer you free credit for you or your friends to use on any Insight Cities tour in future. I will write you directly. Our mission is to give people unforgettable educational travel experiences and we did not deliver here. So sorry. Best --Bonita at Insight Cities
Our guide was well prepared complete with photos and videos about the historical significance of the sites we viewed. Her perspectives and knowledge were invaluable to bring the history to life. We highly recommend her.
Thank you very much for such a positive review! Elizabet at Insight Cities
My wife and I took our walking tour of Jewish Vienna with Annelie together with our children, ages 21 and 26. Annelie was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, and she kept us all engaged the entire time. She used a microphone that fed into the ear-phones she provided us, which ensured that we were able to hear and understand her despite any traffic or other noise around us. We covered a lot of ground, both historically and geographically, taking public transportation out of the Inner City into the neighboring Second District. As an adjunct to her walking tour, she also brought visual aids, a book that included maps, paintings, woodcuts and photographs of the people, places and events that shaped Jewish Viennese history from medieval times through the Shoah to the present, as well as I-Pad three-dimensional visuals of old Vienna streets and houses. All in all, this tour is the one against which we will compare all other tours in the future. A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience!
Annalie certainly knew her Vienna Jewish history. She gave us a quick overview at the hotel and then we proceeded to the underground train, me on my scooter and my husband on foot. We visited an old Orthadox schul guarded by police, but did not enter. We learned history of early Jewish settlers in Vienna. I bounced along the cobblestone streets and hills finding out about these early settlers and their accomplishments and their wives who entertained dukes and other nobles. We also saw a moving WW2 monument in the shape of a b library with books shelves backwards to remember those who would have no life to recall and write about. We were led to a small shop for a warm drink and ended in a grand salon for a snack worthy of our learning that day.
Thanks so much for the detailed review. Our Jewish heritage tours are very important to us, not only in Vienna, but also in Berlin, Prague and Budapest. Glad it met expectations. Have a great fall and travel safe!
My guide was very well prepared in all aspects of history. The reason im giving her 4 stars and not five is because it lacked sentiment there was more facts than storytelling and it really didn’t move me in the sad parts of history. But the guide was very well informes and made a big effort to be thorough.
The tour with Annelie exceeded all of our expectations. She met my family and me at our hotel and gave us earpieces so that we could all hear her clearly throughout. Annelie was incredibly knowledgeable, and she tailored the tour and her remarks to keep everyone fully engaged. She had a useful binder with photos and drawings and an iPad with short vignettes to bring more of the history to life. She also honored the fact that this was a special trip for us because I wanted to see the neighborhood where my grandparents lived, which was coincidentally and conveniently near Annelie’s home. Her familiarity with the neighborhood (which would be part of the regular tour since it’s the 2nd district) made the tour even more personal. She then recommended and dropped us off at a truly local Italian restaurant (what my two teenage sons requested!) after introducing us to the staff at the restaurant. I had really high hopes and expectations for the tour because it was such an important, personal occasion and, again, they were all exceeded. Annelie made the visit even more memorable. I cannot recommend the tour more highly.
Annelie was a terrific guide with lots of interesting stories and clearly knows Vienna and Austrian history very well. My fiancee and I had a great time with her and would highly recommend Annelie to anyone visiting Vienna
We were impressed of her great knowledge on the subject. It was a great opportunity of being able to refresh and enlarge our knowledge on the subject. Thanks a lot
We're so gratified that you enjoyed the tour. We'll hope to see you again on Insight Cities tours in Prague, Berlin and Budapest. We have great Jewish heritage tours in those cities as well, in additon to many other themed tours. Have a great summer.
