From its foundation in 1926 until its forced closure in 1938, the Jüdisches Lehrhaus Stuttgart existed for 12 years. The aim of the Lehrhaus was to counteract the loss of Jewish identity with a new form of adult education. By reflecting on the Jewish religion and culture, a new community was to be created. The Jüdische Lehrhaus has remained known above all as an educational institution which, under the leadership of the religious philosopher Martin Buber, sought to establish a dialog between Jews and Christians.

Leipzig was one of the largest communities in the German-speaking world before 1933, with over 11,000 members. Immediately after the liberation, only twenty-four people of Jewish origin were still living in the city. But as early as May 15, 1945, the Jewish Religious Community of Leipzig was able to reconstitute itself and move back into the former offices in Löhrstrasse. Richard Frank took over the chairmanship and the community grew significantly in the coming months thanks to returnees.
