As a hub of East-West trade, the city on the Oder offered Jewish merchants a good livelihood. The Viadrina, the name of the university founded in 1506, also admitted Jewish students from 1699. The first synagogue is also said to have once stood on the grounds of the Viadrina. In the Jewish world, Frankfurt was known for printing the Hebrew Bible and the Babylonian Talmud since the early 17th century. A visible sign of the economic and social rise of the Jewish community was the construction of a new synagogue.

 " (...) Firemen (carried) several gasoline canisters (inside) and subsequently the fire developed into a large fire. (...) In front of the entrance to the synagogue stood a tall SS man in uniform, (...) but I suspect that this was the former Lord Mayor Dr. Sievers." This statement was made by the eyewitness Otto Leppin, who had to observe this horror scenario in the night of 9/10 November 1938 in the house opposite. After years of research, it turned out that this atrocity against the Jewish community was carried out under the direction of Dr. Sievers.

The synagogue has become dilapidated over the years. Services were held at Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse 5 in the home for mentally handicapped Jewish children. Last use: no information
