In 1882, the Jewish merchant Julius Oppenheim bought the property at Lützowstraße 16. He owned other properties on the corner of Potsdamer Straße and gave part of the site to the Jewish community shortly before 1896. The community had the tenements there demolished and built a typical synagogue center with residential and school buildings facing the street and a synagogue in the backyard. With its red brick facade, the ensemble resembled the church buildings that were being built at the time. In the house, Jews prayed according to the liberal rite, that is, with organ accompaniment.

Dating from 1553, this is Kraków's smallest but most active synagogue, with Shabbat services once again taking place here each Friday following the recent completion of restoration works. The synagogue was established by the family of the famous 16th century Polish rabbi Moses Isserles - better known as 'the Rema,' based on a Hebrew acronym, and is unique for the proximity of the Old Jewish Cemetery adjacent to it.

The cafétier Ignatz Nagler, who was born in Bukovina in 1870 and had lived in Berlin since 1896, opened his own café on Moritzplatz in 1908. The "Café Nagler am Moritzplatz" covered two floors, the first floor and the 1st floor. In the invitation card for the opening, it was touted as a "first-class café." Ignatz Nagler ran it together with his wife Rosa, who had been born in West Prussia in 1876. The couple had three children, all of whom were Zionist and gradually emigrated to British Mandate Palestine during the 1920s.
