On the prayer rooms/synagogues from the 16th to the second half of the 17th century there is hardly any information available. A first larger synagogue was built on the Dürrenberg between 1693 and 1698. After the middle of the 18th century, it became increasingly dilapidated and was too small for the growing number of congregation members.

After it had been possible for Jewish persons or families to settle in Würzburg again under certain conditions since 1803 or after 1808, they soon made efforts to ensure that religious Jewish life was possible again in the city. However, it was to take some time before a community synagogue was established. In 1828 there existed seven private prayer rooms in the houses of rich and respected families such as Hirsch, Jeidels, Mayer and with Chief Rabbi Abraham Bing.

With the establishment of a Jewish community in 1897, a first prayer hall of the community could also be inaugurated.  On September 4, 1907, after five months of construction, a synagogue could be inaugurated in Straubing. The Straubing synagogue had been built according to plans by the architect Hans Dendl.

A synagogue first existed in the Middle Ages. It was first mentioned on the occasion of a renewal of the building in 1479. It stood in what is still called Judengasse in the southern quarter of the Old Town, probably at its southwestern end towards Petersgasse, on the site of today's houses Judengasse No. 25 and 27. It had three street fronts. Under or next to it was the ritual bath. As early as 1500, the city had King Maximilian I confirm ownership of the synagogue in the event that Jews would sooner or later cease to live in Schweinfurt.

In 1911/1912 the new synagogue building at the Brixener Hof in Schäffnerstraße was started; The synagogue in Untere Bachgasse 3 had to be closed in 1907 because of danger of collapse. The entire property was demolished in October 1938. A memorial plaque has commemorated the former synagogue since the beginning of 2012. It bears the inscription: "Former synagogue - At this location in the tower of the Gothic Wollerhaus was the Regensburg synagogue from 1841 to 1907. In 1938, the medieval property was demolished." The memorial plaque was financed by a private donation.
