The so-called New Synagogue in Oranienburger Straße, which can already be spotted from the S-Bahn with its 50m high golden dome, was once the largest Jewish house of worship in Germany. It had several thousand seats and was considered the most magnificent synagogue in Berlin. The synagogue was built according to the designs of architects Eduard Knoblauch and August Stüler and was finally completed in 1866 after seven years of construction. While the liberal house of worship was relatively spared until 1940, it was almost completely burned out after a bombing raid in November 1943.

The counseling center of the Jewish Women's Center was located in the adjoining rooms. Furthermore, a reading room for children, the branch of the library of the Jewish community and a Jewish youth center were established.
