After the prayer room (Hauptstra;e 178, acquired by Rheydter synagogue community) for the growing congregation had become too small and dilapidated, äußerte the Jewish community 1872 the desire to build a new synagogue. Since the members of the congregation came mainly from poorer backgrounds, the necessary funds for the new building could not be raised by the congregation itself. The then Board Commissioner David Falk therefore proposed a house collection in the Rhineland and Westphalia.
