The history of the Jews in Berlin begins shortly after the city was founded. Until the beginning of modern times, Jews were expelled from Berlin and resettled several times. Since 1671 there has been a permanent Jewish population in Berlin, which grew in the 19th and early 20th centuries to 173,000 people in 1925. The Jewish population played an important and formative role in Berlin during this period.

A Jewish community in Eberbach in the Rhine-Neckar district in northern Baden-Württemberg formed in the 19th century, reached its highest membership in 1900 with 138 members, but dwindled due to migration to large cities after World War I and finally became extinct in the course of the persecution of Jews during the National Socialist era. In the late 19th century, a converted residential building served as a synagogue, and in 1913 the community built itself a new synagogue, which was destroyed in the Reichspogromnacht of 1938.
