The Pazmanitentempel, also known as the Jubiläumstempel ({{langx|de|Synagoge in der Leopoldstadt}}), was a Jewish synagogue, located at Pazmanitengasse 6, Leopoldstadt, in the 2nd district of Vienna, Austria. Completed in 1913, the synagogue was destroyed on Kristallnacht in 1938.

History

The congregation was established in 1875 as the Association Aeschel Awrachom, also known as {{langx|de|Am Volker}}.{{cite web |url=http://www.lichtzeichen.wien/5.html |title=Pazmanitentempel |work=Lichtzeichen Wien |date=n.d. |access-date=27 May 2024 }}

The synagogue was designed and constructed by the architect Ignaz Reiser and dedicated on 28 September 1913. It was built to commemorate the 80th birthday of Franz Joseph I. The building was financed by Adolf Schramek (1845–1915)

Originally from Leipnik, Moravia, Schramek became one of Vienna's most successful coal merchants.

The Pazmaniten synagogue was, therefore, not built by the Kultusgemeinde but by a temple club (Verein) Am Volkert, or Aeschel Awrachom (Tent of Abraham) of which Schramek was the president. Plans and photographs of the virtual reconstruction of the synagogue are illustrated in The Destroyed Synagogues of Vienna.{{cite book |author1=Martens, Bob |author2=Peter, Herbert |year=2011 |title=The Destroyed Synagogues of Vienna - Virtual city walks |location=Vienna |publisher=LIT Verlag |page= |isbn= }}

The former synagogue was once described as the most beautiful in Vienna.{{cite book |author=Genee, P. |title=Wiener Synagogen |year=1987 |lang=de |isbn= |page= }} It was destroyed during the Nazi pogroms of the Kristallnacht after the Anschluss of Austria to Nazi Germany in 1938.
