Between 1806 and 1808, the Essen community grew rapidly and had a new synagogue built. By the end of the 1860s, the synagogue was already too small and the community decided to construct a new building on the same site. The synagogue was planned by the architect Edmund Körner and was intended to express the integration and recognition of the Jews in the Germany of the second empire.
