Near the town hall is Oettingen's former synagogue, which is now privately owned. The synagogue was built in 1852/53 and ceremonially consecrated on December 30, 1853. On November 10, 1938, during Kristallnacht, it was desecrated and its interior destroyed. Due to its proximity to neighboring houses, it was not set on fire.
The east window from 1853, designed in the shape of a Star of David, is still preserved.
