The Gunzenhausen Jewish elementary school (1882 until 1938) was established following the Bavarian School Reform of 1824. Originally, in the mid 19th century, the school was situated at Mariusstrasse 13, in a property where the ritual baths were also located and where the Cantor and (Schächter) lived.  The space for the school proved inadequate and it was decided to build a new school together with the new synagogue in 1882.

All Jewish children attended this school. If they later wanted to switch to the Realschule, they could go to the only one in the city, which was located at Marktplatz 2 and was primarily intended for Christian students. But until the beginning of the Nazi regime, they went to school together and were friends with each other.

In 1970, the 115-year-old secondary school building was demolished and the new Steingass department store was built in its place. The students meanwhile attended the newly built grammar school at Simon-Marius-Straße 3.

The building of the former Jewish elementary school was demolished in 1981 and an underground parking garage was built on the site, with apartments and commercial property above.
