Döbling Synagogue

Although the majority of the association's members were at first in favour of disbanding it, a group formed around Julius Lederer with the goal of constructing at least a modest prayer room.

Lederer brought together a new leadership committee which decided to purchase a building in the Dollinergasse (number 3).

With the support of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde, which subsidised the project with 40,000 Kronen, the building was transformed into a synagogue, designed by Julius Wohlmuth in the Art Nouveau style.

The synagogue featured a prayer room with galleries for women and a total capacity of 460 seats, a language and religious school, as well as rooms for the Frauenwohltätigkeitsverein f. d. XIX Bezirk (Ladies’ Charity Organisation for the 19th District) and the Bund jüdischer Eltern, Wien XIX (League of Jewish Parents, Vienna 19th District).

The middle gable was decorated with a large Star of David and stylised rays of sunlight.
