It is not known whether there was already a prayer hall or a synagogue in the Middle Ages.

In the second half of the 17th century (before 1671) a synagogue was built at the Obertor (Obertorstraße 33). It was a half-timbered building with a hall storey, gable roof, crippled hipped roofs and six large round-arched windows 3.40 meters high. In 1837, the building was rebuilt and a women's gallery was added to the upper floor. Until 1895, this synagogue was used.

Since the beginning of the 18th century, Neckarsteinach had a synagogue or a prayer room in a building. In this was also a ritual bath. 1801 to 1803, the community decided to establish a new synagogue. For this purpose, a house was bought on the road to Hirschhorn (Hirschstraße) and a prayer room with a bathroom and a teacher's apartment was established in it. In 1886, however, the old synagogue had to be torn down due to dilapidation.

Initially there was a prayer room (synagogue) in a private Jewish house. In 1846, during a visit to Ober-Gleen, the Grand Ducal Land Rabbi Levy recommended the extension of the synagogue. Whether this was done at that time is not known. There were insufficient funds for a new building at that time. After all, a fund for a new synagogue building was created in October 1846.
