Nothing is known about medieval facilities in Königstein.  

Initially, services were held in prayer rooms of Jewish residential houses. In 1860, the prayer room was in an old house that had fallen into disrepair. In that year a synagogue building was approved, but the community members were so poor that they could not raise the funds for it. In 1868, community elders Israel Weinberg and Heinemann Plaut asked the Prussian king for a financial grant to build the synagogue. A short time later, a synagogue and a community schoolhouse were built. However, both fell victim to a fire on September 28, 1886.
