Around 1700, the Jewish residents of Menden had a prayer room in a private residence located in "Ob der Grotte", today's "Wasserstraße". In 1820, the local Jewish community had a synagogue built on Watergasse/Süsterstraße, today's Hochstraße/Synagogengasse. The synagogue was smashed by SS men and locals on the November pogrom night in 1938. The interior, including religious objects and furniture, was thrown into the street and set on fire. However, local residents had prevented the synagogue from burning down completely.
