The synagogue was commissioned by Betty Sophie Jacobsohn and was built between 1911 and 1913; the architect was Ernst Dorn. It was at first independent, but in 1919 joined the Jüdischen Gemeinde zu Berlin.[2]
The structure was severely damaged on the night of 9–10 November 1938, "Kristallnacht", but was not set on fire.[2] Renovation work was begun shortly after the end of the Second World War,[2] and the synagogue was re-dedicated on 14 September 1947.[3]
Prayer services are accompanied by organ and choir. Much of the music used for the services was composed by Louis Lewandowski.[2]
