Warburg was the seat of the Oberlandesrabbinate of Westphalia since 1686 at the latest. A prayer room in a house at the Altstädter Markt was first mentioned around 1650. After the prince bishop of Paderborn had given his approval at the end of the 17th century, a synagogue was established in the somewhat remote, narrow and steep Altstadtgasse "An der Burg", the Jewish schoolhouse was attached to the building.
