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.
