The Mühlhausen law book, one of the oldest legal texts in the German language, documented Jewish inhabitants in the imperial city of Mühlhausen around 1220. A synagogue was mentioned in writing around 1380. The building that can be visited today was built from 1840 onwards, was desecrated on 9 November 1938 and handed over to the Thuringian Jewish Community after 1945. Efforts to preserve the building were crowned with its rededication in November 1998. The synagogue and community hall can be used for religious services.
