About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, real Volkertmarkt, two genuine Jewish museums, and the Vienna Central Cemetery's Jewish section. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include the Volkertmarkt (2nd District), the Karmeliterviertel quarter, two Jewish museums, a former deportation station, and the genuine Jewish section of Vienna Central Cemetery.

The Karmeliterviertel, in Vienna's 2nd district, carries one of the city's more evocative historical nicknames: Mazzesinsel, or 'Matzo Island.' The name traces back to the 1600s, when the area north of a Carmelite monastery became the Judenstadt — a district where Vienna's Jews were relocated after being pushed out of their earlier community center. Emperor Leopold I expelled the city's Jewish population entirely in 1670, but residents gradually returned over the following two centuries, rebuilding a dense neighborhood of synagogues, Yiddish theaters, prayer houses, and Jewish-owned shops that lasted until the Holocaust. The Ohel Moshe Bakery on Lilienbrunngasse, still serving the neighborhood's Orthodox community today, is a living link to that history.

The route's final stop, the Jewish section of Vienna's Central Cemetery, is one of the largest Jewish burial grounds in Europe. The cemetery itself opened in 1874 as an interfaith burial ground; its older Jewish section, near Gate I, was in use from 1879 until around 1912, while the newer section at Gate IV, established in 1917, holds roughly 60,000 graves and remains an active cemetery for Vienna's Jewish community today. The Nazi era brought real destruction here too — thousands of graves and crypts across the cemetery were damaged, and some records and remains were moved to Gate IV for safekeeping during the war.

Together, the two stops bookend a single community's story across three centuries — from a 17th-century relocated ghetto to a still-functioning cemetery that has outlasted the regime that tried to erase the people buried there.
