Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Sopron (Ödenburg in German) is a city in western Hungary, on the Austrian border, whose medieval Jewish presence is documented as early as the 13th century. The medieval synagogue of Sopron, built in the 14th century in the historic Jewish quarter, is one of the best preserved in Central Europe and stands as an exceptional testament to medieval Jewish life in Hungary. The modern community, reconstituted in the 18th and 19th centuries, was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in the spring of 1944.
