@ Thomas Petters
You are discussing Burgenland’s synagogues.
It sounds great that you are trying to reconstruct the synagogue of Eisenstadt.
Just for your information – it might help you in your thesis – the synagogue of Mattersdorf/burg was reconstructed by Veronika Schmid as her thesis for the TU in Vienna (Technischen Universität Wien).
I am sending you a link to her work that she presented:

http://publik.tuwien.ac.at/files/PubDat_245009.pdf

It might interest you and the other readers.
She also had no documentation of the entire interior, but still managed to use her imagination to fill the missing parts.
Her model is displayed in Mattersburg today – 7th April, 2016.
I wish you luck with your thesis, and would appreciate seeing the progress of your work.

the link http://www.burgenland-bunch.org/JH/Eisenstadt/JH-Eisenstadt.htm doesn`t exist anymore. Is there any possibility to get access to the article you`ve mentioned in this post from the year 2011.

Would be great, it might be essential for the research for my Master Thesis.

Thanks, Thomas

Dear Meir,

thank you for posting the link. Hannes Graf e-mailed me the link yesterday.

Sorry, that your comment was placed in the Moderation Queue, I think the reason is, because you wrote only “Meir” and not “Meir Deutsch” …

@Johannes
But still, if the “Kristallnacht” pogrom reached Eisenstadt, it would have spread to the other township’s Synagogues.
Were the other Synagogues “verwuested”? If yes, what was the point of destroying them. They were not Synagogues anymore, just empty buildings that could be used for other purposes, like in Eisenstadt.
Who knows. You cannot get into the minds of barbarians.

@Meir
Wir müssen – so traurig es ist – dennoch in diesem Fall unterscheiden zwischen “zerstört/destroyed” wie in Mattersburg oder Deutschkreutz und “innen verwüstet” wie in Eisenstadt!
Das Gebäude wurde zwischen 38 und 45 nie zerstört, wohl aber der Innenraum verwüstet.

“In 1746, the construction of the Synagogue had started. In 1834 it was replaced by a new building. This building had a rectangular ground plan, measuring 12 x 18 meters. Massive stone walls sustained a roof which was slanted on the narrow sides and piled up with bricks. The Synagogue was placed in the center of the village (Rausnitzerstraße 89) and overlooked the surrounding houses.

On February 16th 1941 the Synagogue had been detonated; a 16 year old girl was hit by a stone from the powerful explosion and died. Documents and religious books were burned on the site.

In 1949 the former place of the Synagogue had been fenced in and a marble memorial stone was built. In the 1970s the construction of a Konsum discounted subsidiary shop replaced the memorial stone.”

We can see that the Synagogue there was destroyed much later than “Kristallnacht”.
Now we have two Synagogues from the Bergenland that were not destroyed on “kristallnacht” but later. From that we can assume that all the other Synagogues in the neiborhood were also destroyed after “Kristallnacht”, including the Synagogue of Eisenstadt. Had the one in Eisenstadt been destroyed on “Kristallnacht”, would’t the other neigbouring ones not be destroyed at the same time? Why would the Barbarians differentiate between the other ones. They were close to each other?

Now we have a Memorial Plaque at the place of the Synagogue in Eisenstadt. A memorial stone at Mattersburg. But in Deutschkreutz-Zelem we had a Memorial stone for the Deutschkreutz Synagogue, but that is gone now. Nothing to show the place of the Synagogue remains in Deutschkreutz.
