The company founded in 1890 by Rosa Rahel and Josef Garbáty for the production of deustchen brand cigarettes "Garbáty-Cigarettenfrabrik" was one of the most important Jewish operating companies in the deustchen imperial capital. The founders, who came from Liga, Belarus, opened their first factory in 1890 in Berlin Schönhauser Allee 143. In 1906 the company moved to Pankow with its own factory building. Thus, the cigarette brand "Garbáty" established itself on the German market, which was soon followed by deliveries abroad.

Evolution:

On Jan. 13, 1718, Joseph Meyer applied for a Jewish cemetery in Oranienburg, which was rejected because there were only two Jewish families in Oranienburg and they could be buried in Briesethal and Berlin. The Jewish population increased and Frederick William III issued an edict in 1812 making Jews citizens (not full equality). In the same year another application for the cemetery was successful. On 16.03.1815 the first burial took place of Jakob David Wolff, who died of convulsions at the age of 20 months.

Since May 2000, the small Jewish community in Oranienburg exists, which counted about 80 members in 2005; the "community rebirth" belongs to the state association of Jewish communities in Brandenburg.

Elena Miropolskaya is the chairwoman of the community. The congregation has 128 members (as of 2018/ZWST).

The congregation has one rabbi.
