The construction of the synagogue in Komturstraße took place only in 1851/52, before that a private house served the Jewish community as a religious center, but over time it had become too small for the growing community. The synagogue was built in North German style with red bricks. Forty years later, the synagogue was rebuilt and consecrated, and a school and community hall were also built alongside it.

The synagogue in the Annaturmstraße in Euskirchen was inaugurated in 1856. The Jewish community had held its services in private houses before the synagogue was built.

Between 1806 and 1808, the Essen community grew rapidly and had a new synagogue built. By the end of the 1860s, the synagogue was already too small and the community decided to construct a new building on the same site. The synagogue was planned by the architect Edmund Körner and was intended to express the integration and recognition of the Jews in the Germany of the second empire. 

The Düsseldorf Jewish community was able to inaugurate the synagogue in Kasernenstraße as early as 1787. However, it proved to be too small within a short time. Since the Jewish community was put on an equal footing with the rest of the city's population in political terms in the middle of the 19th century, the synagogue community officially came into being and work began on erecting a new building for the synagogue on the same site.
