In 1730, the Aldingen local lord Georg Wolf von Kaltenthal accepts the first two Schutzjuden (Abraham and Mazam Kahn) and assigns them the old parsonage near the Margarethenkirche as their home. In the attic of the parsonage, the two Jews set up a prayer room, which was probably used as a religious meeting place by the Jewish community of Aldingen until 1798 (purchase of the house at Kirchstraße 15 and conversion into a synagogue)

Seligmann Isaak buys the house in 1798 against the resistance of the Aldingen community council and converts it into a house synagogue. By 1799, an extension is completed at the rear, housing the synagogue in the attic. In 1815, the house becomes the property of Veit Löwenthal, whose grandson David sells it in 1872. This ended its use as a synagogue. In 1859, the synagogue was temporarily closed by the Freudental rabbinate, as the Aldingen Jews boycotted the service in order to prevent the introduction of a Reform service with a prayer book in German.

In the Regensburg address book 1903 the following entry can be found: Leopold Loewenthal, grain and country products, fodder, seeds, fertilizers, corn import, St Georgenplatz 6.
