About Vienna

Vienna, the capital of Austria, lies in the country’s east on the Danube River. Its artistic and intellectual legacy was shaped by residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The city is also known for its Imperial palaces, including Schönbrunn, the Habsburgs’ summer residence. In the Museums Quartier district, historic and contemporary buildings display works by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt and other artists. Vienna has a population of about 1.8 million (1.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. Evidence has been found of continuous habitation since 500 BC, when the site of Vienna on the Danube River was settled by the Celts. 6.1 million tourists visited Vienna in 2014 amounting to 13,514,166 overnight stays. Art and culture had a long tradition in Vienna, including theatre, opera, classical music and fine arts.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Vienna

Until 1938, Vienna had a flourishing Jewish community with dozens of synagogues and prayer houses. The prevalent anti-Semitism of the time provided fertile grounds for the racism and terror of the Nazis, which started immediately after the occupation of Austria by the German Wehrmacht in March of 1938. From around 190,000 Jewish people in Austria and about 10% of Vienna after the war the number was reduced to about 15,000. The 2001 census in Austria counted 8140 Jews in Austria, of which 6988 were living in Vienna. Leopoldstadt is an area where there is a lot of Jewish life, Synagogues, kosher restaurants, and kosher shops. Over the centuries, 93 synagogues have been founded in Vienna. The only synagogue to have survived the Kristallnacht pogrom is the Stadttempel. Some new synagogues and prayer rooms have since been established.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
