Synagoge der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde Linz
The Synagoge der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde Linz stands in Linz, Austria, serving as a synagogue, meeting place, and centre for Jewish culture. Architect Friedrich Goffitzer designed the present building after the Second World War.
The original synagogue was destroyed by fire during the November pogrom on 10 November 1938. SS members set the building ablaze, as Jewish institutions across Austria and Germany faced coordinated attacks. The Jewish community counted about 671 members in March 1938, but only around 70 remained after the war. Survivors of Mauthausen and its satellite camps helped make reconstruction possible, and the synagogue reopened in 1968.
The protected monument now hosts worship, concerts, book presentations, commemorations, and gatherings for Jewish life in Upper Austria. An eternal light burns inside, expressing faith, Jewish teaching, remembrance, and the community’s enduring presence in Linz.
