From 1940 until the destruction of Dresden city center by air raids by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) from 13 to 15 February 1945, citizens of the Jewish faith were forced to move in here before being deported to the Nazi extermination camps.

At the beginning of the 18th century, a small Jewish community formed in Unterlimpurg under the protection of the Hall council. Initially, it held its services in the house of Moses Mayer.

Since 1727, regular services were held on the upper floor of the so-called Waller'schen Haus at Unterlimpurger Straße 65 e. In 1893, the Jewish congregation then moved to a prayer hall in Obere Herrngasse.

In the 19th century, the first Jews settled in Erkelenz after 1850. When there was a sufficient number of men to form a minyan, they sought a room for religious services. In 1861, a petition was submitted by the Jews Wey and Consorten for the construction of a prayer room. As the number of parishioners was still small, only one room was rented at first. This was in 1862. This "prayer room" was located in Oeratherstra&;e, today's Burgstra&;e No. 9, on the upper floor of a residential building üabove a gateway. 

In the village of Hagenburg, to the west of Wunstorf, there is evidence that a small number of Jewish inhabitants lived there from the beginning of the 17th century - mostly in very poor circumstances. The few families initially held services in a private house in Steinhude; after differences between the members of the community, the Hagenburg Jewish community set up its own prayer room after 1840; a teacher was only employed on a temporary basis. Around 1860, eight Jewish families lived in Hagenburg.

The Jüdische Kultusgemeinde Dresden e.V. is a liberal Hasidic-Jewish community founded in September 2021 in Dresden-Neustadt. It sees itself as a young, lively and egalitarian community in which different people can come into contact with each other.

Since September 3, 2023, it has had its own shtiebel prayer room in a historic building on the site of the old Leipzig train station. In Yiddish, shtiebel means ‚small room‘ and goes back to pre-modern Jewish community meeting places in Eastern Europe.

In May 1915 Louise Ariowitsch acquired the property Färberstraße 11, which consisted of a residential building on the street side and a building on the rear side. The rear building was converted into a synagogue (Beth Yehuda) with rooms for classes and for use by religious associations. A two-story prayer hall with a gallery was built. As a prayer and teaching house, it was intended to keep alive the memory of her late husband.

Already in 1787 there was a prayer hall in Mauristra;e. In 1859 the synagogue was consecrated here. In 1938 the interior of the synagogue was damaged and destroyed during the November pogrom. Since there was a gasoline depot near the building, the synagogue was not set on fire. Non-Jewish residents feared for the safety of their own homes. After the pogrom, the synagogue was taken out of the possession of the Jewish community and from 1939 was used as accommodation for Polish and Russian prisoners of war. After 1945, the building became private property and was used as a storage shed.

In the available literature there are references to the existence of Betsälen before the 19th century. Here, however, neither a more precise chronological classification nor a localization is possible. In 1818 the synagogue was established in the rear building of Burgstra&szlig 31. In the course of the 19th century, the number of Jewish residents in Wevelinghoven remained constant. After the anti-Jewish riots in the wake of the so-called Xanten ritual murder affair in 1892, however, some members moved to the surrounding larger towns, so that the community began to shrink.
