Alemannia Judaica

In 1741 the Jewish community bought a house on the property Östlicher Graben 19. On it 1749-57 a synagogue was built. The building was renovated several times until the 20th century. The character as a late Baroque synagogue building was preserved. To this day, a wooden flat barrel of the prayer hall decorated with stucco rosettes can be seen In the course of the 19th century, the synagogue was renovated several times and adapted to the needs of the time.

At the latest in the second half of the 18th century Jewish services were held in the city. In 1784 a synagogue is mentioned, whereby it was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses. When in 1803 the Jews of Vechta had to pay homage to the new sovereign (Duke of Oldenburg), a Torah scroll was taken from the synagogue for this purpose. 
  
In 1825/26 a synagogue was built on the site of the demolished community servant's house at Klingenhagen (today Juttastrasse 4). It was a one-story building with a crippled hipped roof.

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.
