While Jews*Jewesses in the nearby episcopal city of Münster were not allowed to live permanently until the Napoleonic period, there is evidence of a largely unbroken Jewish population in Telgte since 1539. The number of resident Jewish families had increased to eight families at the beginning of the 18th century, and in 1812 there were twelve families with a total of 61 persons. In 1847 the synagogue community of Telgte became the main community of the synagogue district of Münster.
