English abstract:
Computer-aided reconstruction of no-longer existent synagogues amounts to a "virtual comeback". Irreversible destruction having removed iden-tity-establishing buildings from the urban surface forever is the principal reason for re-creating them by imagination. Following the destruction of the so-called "Reichskristall-Night" of November 1938 the synagogues of the Jewish community in Vienna will only survive by means of virtual reconstruction. 60 years later, in the com-memorative year of 1998 the first synagogue reconstruction was initiated. The medium-range goal, however, aims at the reconstruction of at least ten further synagogues within a project to be carried out in stages over a period of several years. Changes in personnel also call for a structure to be tracked down later on. This contribution deals with handling of modeling in a systematic manner taking into consideration software fluctuations aiming at a traceable data structure being of importance for subsequent use and following-up work.
