With a letter of July 29, 1874 to the Israelite religious community, 32 members of the congregation asked to hold their own services in the prayer room of the community center according to the traditional rite. However, this was refused, as it was feared that the unity of the congregation would be dissolved. Thus, the first services (since New Year - Rosh Hashanah - 1874) were held in a rented hall.

First there was a prayer hall, then a first synagogue (small "shul", which belonged to the family of Löb Kaz). In 1786 the Jewish community built a new synagogue on today's property Schweinfurter Straße 23. Thanks to the generous support of the banker Löb Kent, who came from Niederwerrn, a monumental building could be erected, comparable in its dimensions and layout to the synagogue in Heidingsfeld (near Würzburg). The synagogue was rebuilt in 1885 and renovated in 1913.
