 After the great fire of 1733, the Palatinate-Zweibrücken "Judenschultheiß" (“reeve of the Jews”) Salomon Meyer acquired a burnt-out spot on Kirchhofstraße where he built a prayer parlour.After Meyer's death, his widow sold the building in 1802 to the Jewish religious community, who used it for worship until 1938, the time of Kristallnacht.In 1989, the "Förderverein zur Erhaltung der Synagoge" (“Promotional Association for Preserving the Synagogue”) acquired the run-down building, now under monumental protection, from private ownership and restored it with the Association's own means and also government funding.
