" The Jewish community in Wöllmarshausen existed from the middle of the 18th century until 1877. (...). Around 1848 there were 35 Jews living in Wöllmarshausen. (...) Due to the law of 1842 the Landdrostei decreed on June 17, 1844 the formation of a joint synagogue association with Bremke and Gelliehausen. This failed due to the "disruptive obstinacy" of the Wöllmarshauser Jews. In May 1845 the Landdrostei provisionally accepted the independence of the community of Wöllmarshausen. (...) 

"The date of construction of the cemetery is not known. As early as 1854, the political community approved its expansion, but forbade the enclosure, in order to continue to allow the grazing of cattle. In 1860/61, the cemetery grounds were again enlarged and enclosed, after between 1840 and 1860, ten adults and two children had been buried on the previous grounds. The Jewish cemetery exists to this day.

"The building used as a synagogue was probably a kind of shed, which was immediately adjacent to the wonhaus in front of it. The floor area was 7.20m in width, 8.20m in length, i.e. 59sqm. The whole building was quite simple and, as it turned out with time, quite poorly made. The entrance was on the west side, as prescribed by the rabbinical rules. Whether there was a special women's section is unclear. In other respects, too, we know little about the furnishings and equipment. It was by no means meager.

In 1829, the Jewish community of Moringen builds its own synagogue on a plot of land "off the beaten track", in Schneehof 1. A half-timbered building is erected, each with four floor-to-ceiling windows with segmental/round arches on the long sides, two windows on the east side. Towards the east there was presumably also an apse for the Torah shrine. Inside, a women's lodge is suspected.
