The settlement of the first Jewish citizens began in 1300. In the course of the 14th century, the Jews were under King John of Bohemia's protection. They registred the first Jewish school in the city book of Görlitz, founded the Jewish community and finally were expelled from Görlitz in 1389.
There wasn't a new settlement until 1847. In 1849 the Jewish cemetery in Biesnitz was inaugurated and in 1853 the first synagogue was built in Langenstraße, which was too small for the community soon. In 1909-1911 a large new synagogue was built near the city park by the Dresden architecture firm Lossow & Kühne. In recent years it has been extensively renovated and now serves as a cultural forum.
Unfortunately, there has been no Jewish community in Görlitz since 1945.
