Heinrich Heine was born in Düsseldorf in 1797 to a Jewish family. Due to the discrimination faced by Jews, he was baptized into the Protestant faith in 1825 to improve his career prospects.

In his works, Heine explored questions of religion, identity, and freedom. As one of the most significant German poets of the 19th century, he combined personal experiences with sharp social criticism and championed intellectual and political freedom.

The prayer hall featured a gallery running around the perimeter and, with its centrally placed lectern, conformed to Orthodox rites.
