The medieval Jewish residential area was located in the city center near the market district in the area of Große Metzgergasse (today Dalbergstraße)/Stiftsplatz. A synagogue was first mentioned in 1344. It stood in the Dalbergstraße/Rathausgasse corner before and after the persecution in the plague period. It is mentioned as "Judenschule" (1363, 1383, 1385, 1397, 1437) or as "synagoga Judeorum" (1402). Until the middle of the 15th century it was used for the services of the Jewish community. For unknown reasons, it fell into disrepair and was completely destroyed in 1459.

Already in the second half of the 18th century a prayer hall or a synagogue was present. In 1824, the Jewish community in Hörstein had to recognize the dilapidation of their prayer house. In view of the need for a new building, 1,400 gulden had already been collected in donations at that time. Thus, the synagogue building was probably realized in the following years. A report on the inauguration and the exact date of the inauguration are not known.
