Already in the 14th century Jews lived in Detmold, who received letters of protection against payment, which secured their permanent settlement. The oldest preserved letter of protection dates back to the year 1500.

The Jewish community in Detmold used the half-timbered synagogue on Exterstraße from 1742 to 1905. At the beginning of the 20th century, the synagogue was built in Lortzingstraße and the old synagogue was sold to innkeeper Wilhelm Schwindt for 19,000 marks.

At the latest in the second half of the 18th century Jewish services were held in the city. In 1784 a synagogue is mentioned, whereby it was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses. When in 1803 the Jews of Vechta had to pay homage to the new sovereign (Duke of Oldenburg), a Torah scroll was taken from the synagogue for this purpose. 
  
In 1825/26 a synagogue was built on the site of the demolished community servant's house at Klingenhagen (today Juttastrasse 4). It was a one-story building with a crippled hipped roof. 
 

The synagogue of the Jewish community in Osnabrück was built and consecrated in 1906. The house of worship is designed by the Cologne architect Sigmund Münchhausen in the Romanesque style. The number of congregation members in 1933 was 435.  On the morning of November 10, 1938, the synagogue in Rolandstraße was set on fire. On the same day, all Jewish men up to 55 years of age were locked in the cellar and then deported to the concentration camp. The ruins of the synagogue were completely demolished a year later.
