English summary: The Design Dialogue anthology is a remarkable exploration of the decisive role of Jewish patrons, professionals, architects, designers and authors in shaping modern Viennese architecture, design, and material culture. Leading cultural historians, museum curators, art historians, and architects present cutting edge research examining how famous and less known protagonists created new cultural languages, identifications and networks, engaged in social debates, and contributed to the cultural renewal of Vienna, a major capital in Central Europe, between 1800 and 1938. German description: Die Anthologie Design Dialog zielt darauf ab, die bedeutende Rolle judischer Mazene, Fachleute, Architekten, Designer und Autoren bei der Gestaltung der modernen Wiener Architektur, Design und materialen Kultur herauszuarbeiten. Fuhrende Kulturhistoriker, Museumskuratoren, Kunsthistoriker und Architekten prasentieren modernste Forschung, in der untersucht wird, wie beruhmte und weniger bekannte Protagonisten neue Kultursprachen, Identifikationsformen und Netzwerke geschaffen haben, die sich in offentlichen Debatten engagierten und zur kulturellen Erneuerung Wiens beigetragen haben – eine der bedeutendsten Stadte Mitteleuropas zwischen 1800 und 1938.
