the synagogue becomes the Leopoldskirche church

Under pressure from the clergy, the guilds, and Empress Marguerite-Thérèse, Léopold Iᵉʳ orders the expulsion of the Jews from Vienna and Lower Austria. The community had lived in a neighborhood on the other bank of the canal, the Werd, which took the name Leopoldstadt after their departure; the great synagogue was consecrated as a church under the emperor's name.

The city lost with them a portion of its credit and its commerce, and the municipal council soon had to recall several banking families, including that of Samuel Oppenheimer, to finance the wars against the Ottomans. The exiles were welcomed by the Grand Elector in Brandenburg, where they founded the community of Berlin.
