The Hietzinger Synagogue (German: Hietzinger Synagoge), or New World Synagogue, was a Jewish congregation and synagogue, that was located at Eitelbergergasse 22, in Hietzing, in the 13th district of Vienna, Austria. The Hietzing Synagogue was the only free-standing synagogue built in Vienna between World War I and World War II; subsequently destroyed as a result of Kristallnacht.
The congregation was established in 1904 and worshiped from premises located at Penzinger Straße 132. The building was too small for the growing congregation and, after several attempts, an international competition was held to design a new synagogue. The winners, Arthur Grünberger and Adolf Jelletz, designed the rectangular building in the Expressionist style, constructed between 1926 and 1928;[1] and completed in 1931.
The synagogue was desecrated and partially destroyed during Kristallnacht in November 1938 and demolished the following year.[2]
