The synagogue of the Jewish community in Osnabrück was built and consecrated in 1906. The house of worship is designed by the Cologne architect Sigmund Münchhausen in the Romanesque style. The number of congregation members in 1933 was 435.  On the morning of November 10, 1938, the synagogue in Rolandstraße was set on fire. On the same day, all Jewish men up to 55 years of age were locked in the cellar and then deported to the concentration camp. The ruins of the synagogue were completely demolished a year later.

Jews settled in East Frisia since the beginning of the 16th century. In this time there was already a Jewish community in Norden. In 1569 the first cemetery was leased. It was the first cemetery in East Frisia. The Jews from Emden and Aurich also initially buried their dead here.

The first synagogue was built in 1804 and rebuilt in 1903. A mikvah was attached to it. Next door was the school building and a house with administrative offices.

The synagogue was burned down in 1938.

The island of Norderney belonged to the synagogue community of Norden.
