German title: Israelitisches Dankgebet bey Grossnuns des zum Gottesdienst, Relirionsunterricht, und zur Siechen=berforgung bestimmenten Hauses, in Dempfingerhofeon gehalten von den faemnitichen tollerirten Israeliten...
Hebrew and German liturgies and lyrics in honor of the grand opening of a new house of religious worship in Dempfingerhofe on 27 Elul [5]672 (Sept. 4, 1812) in Hebrew and German (12 ff.) and German (20 ff.), each with its own title page. The volume includes extensive prayers for Emperor Francis I, his wife, Queen Maria Ludovika, and their son and heir apparent Ferdinand. Remarkably, only 30 years earlier, in 1782, Emperor Joseph II promulgated the Edict of Toleration, which liberated the Jews from many restrictions and allowed them to settle in Vienna. In 1812, Emperor Francis I issued a permit for the inauguration of a school and prayer house in Seitenstettengasse. In 1825/26, the City Temple was built in Seitenstettengasse based on plans by Josef Kornhäusel. |
