At the latest in the second half of the 18th century Jewish services were held in the city. In 1784 a synagogue is mentioned, whereby it was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses. When in 1803 the Jews of Vechta had to pay homage to the new sovereign (Duke of Oldenburg), a Torah scroll was taken from the synagogue for this purpose. 
  
In 1825/26 a synagogue was built on the site of the demolished community servant's house at Klingenhagen (today Juttastrasse 4). It was a one-story building with a crippled hipped roof.
