Austrian Southern Railway
The Margaret synagogue, located in the Siebenbrunnengasse 1a, was destroyed during the November pogrom (1938), "Kristallnacht". During World War II, large parts of Margareten were destroyed by bombing raids since the war effort ran institutions, such as the Austrian Southern Railway and the freight station Matzleinsdorf, at the county line. Also heavily damaged was the area around the Vienna River.
