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.

In 1905, the Reingold steam laundry was opened by Adolf de Beer and his wife Mathilde at Hochheiderweg 3 in Oldenburg. The Reingold company had over 200 acceptance points in the Oldenburg region and East Frisia. At a time when washing machines were not yet available, the laundry represented a great relief of work in the households. Tasks such as sorting, soaking, boiling, folding and ironing the laundry were taken over by the de Beers' family business. The husband and wife worked in the laundry; in addition, Mathilde took care of the children and the household.

The Jewish cemetery Reckendorf is located in a community in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg and was built in 1798. It is located west of Reckendorf on a forest slope and can be reached via the chapel path branching off from the Lourdes Chapel on the main road.
