The "Neuschul" was built and used next to the main synagogue ("Altschul") due to the increase of the Jewish population in Fürth. In addition, it had apartments that were rented or leased.

In the 19th century, when under Chief Rabbi Dr. Isaak Loewi the main synagogue was rebuilt and expanded according to the ideas of Reform Judaism, the "Neuschul" continued to be used by the Orthodox community members as a community synagogue.
