In the second half of the 17th century there was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish residential houses. However, there is no documentary evidence. An old synagogue around 1700 could have been established in a building in the Webergasse. Also for this no written proofs are present.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Jews living in Schifferstadt first attended the synagogue in Speyer, then in Böhl. Since 1826 there was a prayer hall available. It had been furnished by the Jewish families together and equipped with the necessary rituals. The location of this first prayer hall is unknown. It sufficed for the purposes of the community for about 25 years. 

The synagogue in Rülzheim was built in 1832/33 by the well-known synagogue architect August von Voit (Bavarian court architect). He also designed the plans of the synagogues in Herxheim, Ingenheim, Kallstadt, Kirchheimbolanden and Speyer. In Rülzheim, it is a late classicist, flat-roofed, two-story hall building with a flat gable roof.
