No information is available about the history of the prayer rooms and synagogues from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. A new synagogue was built in 1882/83 by the Fürth master builder Evora. The building with its two double towers quickly became one of Gunzenhausen's landmarks. The dedication of the synagogue was on October 19, 1883 by District Rabbi Aron Bär Grünbaum from Ansbach.

A synagogue or a prayer room was present at least since the time around 1700. Initially, such a prayer room was established in a house belonging to Barthel Hunefeldt. Then a prayer room could be established in the small castle (Eisenach life). Shortly before 1716 a new synagogue was built. From this year a document is preserved, in which is reported about closer circumstances to the building of the house of worship: The lords of Rosenbach would have given the timber for the construction. The building itself, however, was built on princely Saxony-Eisenach land.

Initially there was a prayer hall or a first synagogue. A (new) synagogue was built in 1827. At the dedication of the Jewish school building in Kleinwallstadt in 1899, the desire was expressed for a "more appropriate prayer room and appropriate ritual bath", which should be carried out next to the school building. 
   

A synagogue was built in 1780. A document recorded in this regard: "The base area 1780 from Jüdle Katz received as a gift and in the same year the synagogue was built." The building was renovated several times in the following 150 years, including in 1863 and for the last time in 1928. The synagogue was a half-timbered building with half and full round arch windows, built on a sandstone foundation. The shallow trough vault inside was painted with ornaments in gray and red.
