[1] The tripartite façade of the Leopoldstädter, with its tall central section flanked by lower wings on each side,[2] became the model for numerous Moorish Revival synagogues, including the Choral Temple in Bucharest, which has an almost identical main façade; and several other synagogues.

A monument marks the location of the former synagogue, together with a memorial plaque that reads in German (and Hebrew):[4] Hier befand sich der Leopoldstädter Tempel, der im Jahre 1858 nach Plänen von Architekt Leopold Förster im maurischen Stil errichtet und am 10.

November 1938 in der sogenannten "Reichskristallnacht" von den nationalsozialistischen Barbaren bis auf die Grundmauern zerstört wurde.translated as: Here stood the Leopoldstädter Temple, built in 1858 in the Moorish style according to the plans of architect Leopold Förster, all but the foundation of which was completely destroyed by National Socialist barbarians on the so-called "Night of Broken Glass" on 10 November 1938.The Tempel, which housed a prestigious[citation needed] congregation in the capital of the Austrian Empire, inspired the construction of several other synagogues in the Moorish Revival style.

Some are designed similarly to Förster's building, with a flat façade and roof, tripartite massing with a large central block, symmetrical decorative minarets, and internal basilica plan with balconies.
