The Jewish community Duisburg-Mülheim exists since 1955. The double community joined in 1968 also the Jewish religious community Oberhausen. Today, the congregation consists of about 2,800 members. Many of them come from the successor states of the former Soviet Union. In 1999, the community center was inaugurated on the inner harbor of Duisburg, which was to replace the former community center in Mülheim.
The community center with synagogue was built according to the plans of the architect Zvi Hecker, the construction time was two years. The concrete architecture of the building, which spreads over an area of 1,600 m², looks very monolithic with its shape of a fanned out book. In the community center, in addition to the synagogue, there are a library, offices, classrooms and the children's and youth center.
