Architecture Status Quo (Rumbach St.) Synagogue in Budapest, Hungary
The synagogue was erected in 1872 by the then emerging Viennese architect Otto Wagner for the Status Quo Ante community of the Hungarian capital. It was constructed in the prevailing Neo-Moorish style characteristic of Ludwig Förster’s guidelines and features a prayer hall based on an octagonal footprint. Presently (2018), the synagogue is undergoing restoration works. Reconstruction dates: The late 1980s/early 1990s, 2018-2021
