Initially there was a prayer room (synagogue) in a private Jewish house. In 1846, during a visit to Ober-Gleen, the Grand Ducal Land Rabbi Levy recommended the extension of the synagogue. Whether this was done at that time is not known. There were insufficient funds for a new building at that time. After all, a fund for a new synagogue building was created in October 1846.

Measures to be carried out within the framework of the preservation of historical monuments exceeded his financial possibilities (1 million DM), public subsidies were not received.
