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.
