The synagogue of 1894 is most likely the third on this site. The first building, a wooden structure, dates from about 1802/03. Before that, the Jewish people of Oerlinghausen held their services in rented rooms. The land was provided by the widow Meyer David. The first synagogue was already dilapidated three decades later. A list of costs for a new building is preserved in the state archives in Detmold. There is no evidence of its realization, but it probably took place around 1832/33. This second synagogue also showed traces of forgetfulness around 1890.
