In the second half of the 15th century there were again individual Jews in the city (named since 1469). At that time, the Archbishop of Mainz allowed the Jews of Heiligenstadt to rebuild the "Judenhof" to be able to move into housing there (today street name "Am Jüdenhof", near the old market).

The Jewish Cemetery is a cemetery of the city of Gotha in the district of Gotha in Thuringia.

 In 1829, with the permission of the government of the Duchy of Gotha, a new burial ground "next to the Siechhofe on the road to Kindleben" - on the former Chaussee Siebleben - Erfurt (today's Erfurter Landstraße) - could be established. These burial grounds were located close to each other. It is possible that 1829 was only an extension of the cemetery of 1768. The cemetery was occupied until the new cemetery was established. There is nothing left of this cemetery today.

In 1903/04, the Jewish Community built a new synagogue in the former Hohenlohestr. 1 (today Moßlerstraße) in neo-Romanesque style. The architect was Richard Klepzig from Gotha. The synagogue was solemnly consecrated on May 11, 1904 in the presence of Landrabbiner Dr. Prager from Kassel. It was a central building with a turret-crowned dome.

In the Middle Ages there may have been a prayer room or synagogue, of which nothing more is known. After the number of Jewish families increased in the second half of the 19th century, prayer rooms were first used in Jewish residential houses. First in Eichel's house (Hauptmarkt 36), then in Liebenstein's house (Schwabhäuser Straße 6) and from 1877 in Rudolph's house (Siebleber Straße 8).
