The completed synagogue was consecrated on 11 April 1897 by Rabbi Berthold Oppenheim, who faithfully served the Olomouc community for forty-five years until his death. He was murdered along with most of his community in 1942.
Above left is a portrait of the rabbi from the beginning of his career in Olomouc, on the right a portrait from his later years. The photo below shows him with the choristers who sang in the synagogue on the High Holidays.
