The so-called Klaussynagoge was founded around 1700 [in older accounts usually the year 1703 is mentioned] by the Halberstadt court factor Berend Lehmann (1681-1730) as a Jewish study and teaching house. The prospective teachers and rabbis were to be released from community service in order to be able to devote themselves entirely to Torah and Talmud study "in seclusion". Previously, Berend Lehmann had already financed the first printing of the Babylonian Talmud in Germany (Frankfurt/Oder) in 1696-99.

First there was a prayer room available. The prayer room mentioned in 1852 in a status report on Jewish worship in the area of the Kirchheim district commissariat had been established "for 62 years already" in the house of Jacob Landsberg (that is since 1790). In 1814 the Jewish community purchased this house for 900 guilders. Over the years the condition of the prayer hall became worse and worse. In 1841 it was said that the building was "demolished", that is, in dilapidated condition. A little later it was demolished. 
 

Alsenz is a small town in the Donnersbergkreis between Kaiserslautern and Bad Kreuznach.

From 1650 individual Jews settled in the village. In the middle of the 19th century, the community reached a strength of one hundred people. Due to rural exodus and moving to the cities, the number of Jews constantly decreased. At the time of National Socialism, only individual residents were left in the village.

In the village there was a synagogue with mikvah and school, in front of the village there was a cemetery.

At the end of the 17th century, the still few Rockenhausen Jews attended the synagogue in Alsenz. In the course of the 18th century, a prayer room may have been established in Rockenhausen. In 1811 Manasse Kahnweiler set up a prayer room on the upper floor of an outbuilding of his house at Luitpoldstr. 20 (formerly building No. 250 in the "Grad Gaß"), which was solemnly inaugurated.  In the 1860s the desire to build a synagogue in Rockenhausen arose. The first plans were drawn up in 1867/68 by the district building officer Rosenthal.

"Towards the end of the 19th century, the Seibersbach religious community reached its numerical peak with about 70 people. The synagogue existed in the village center since the 1850s; before that, the Seibersbach Jews had visited the Jewish house of worship in nearby Schweppenhausen. After a fire in 1913, which completely destroyed the synagogue, a new building was erected on the old foundations.
