A Jewish community in Ulm already existed in the High Middle Ages, had great economic importance in the 14th century and ceased to exist in 1499 with the ban on Jews in Ulm. After the mediatization of the imperial city in 1803 and the transition of Ulm to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1810, Jews were able to settle again and from 1856 formed an independent Israelite religious community. In the second half of the 19th century, the community grew to almost 700 people due to the influx of families from Jewish rural communities.
