The living quarters of the first Jewish families were the houses in the so-called Judenhof or Judenbau (early manor house), a district separated from the Christian living quarters. Even in 1851, two thirds of the Jewish inhabitants lived in the Judenhof.

In the 18th century a first synagogue was built, about which nothing else is known. It had become too small around 1840, so a new one was built in 1844/45, which was consecrated on September 19, 1845. In 1879 a part of the building was destroyed by fire. However, it was not necessary to renew the whole building and the synagogue was consecrated again on August 20, 1880. In the meantime, people prayed in a rented room. In 1904 and 1907 the synagogue was modernized, in the latter year electric lighting was introduced. In 1922 the community renewed the synagogue roof.

In 1836 a local public Jewish school was founded, for which a schoolhouse was built in 1841/42 on the lower moat. In this also a Mikwe was built in.

The Jewish cemetery could be established by the Jewish community Barchfeld already in 1686. At that time, the landgravine Hedwig Sophie von Hessen gave her patron Jews a piece of land for a burial ground at the "Fischertor" located near the village. In 1714 the cemetery was extended for the first time. The Jews had to pay an annual fee of 2 talers as a hereditary lease. In addition, the burial fee for adults was 1 thaler 12 groschen, for children half the price. In 1741 the cemetery was fenced in. A second time the cemetery was enlarged in 1786 by a "sixteenth acre", a third time in 1803.

Also a Jüdischer cemetery was present, which lay on the „Jüdenhügel". The way to the Jüdischen cemetery led according to the Überlieferung through the „Klagetor" named accordingly.

In the Middle Ages there was a synagogue on the property Judengasse 4 (probably today's Jüdengasse). It is not preserved.
