In 1695 Landgrave Ernst Ludwig gave permission to the Darmstadt Jews to set up a prayer room and hold services. This prayer room was located with Hirtz until 1705, and with the court Jew Benedikt Löw until 1714. In 1735, the Jewish community acquired the house Kleine Ochsengasse 14 and converted it into a synagogue; the inauguration took place in 1737. The synagogue was extensively renovated and expanded in 1842.
