The Laupheim district rabbinate was founded in Laupheim in Württemberg in 1832 and was one of 13 district rabbinates , which were also known as district synagogues. The district rabbinate was moved to Ulm in 1889 .

By decree of the Ministry of the Interior of August 3, 1832, after the amalgamation or dissolution of various Jewish communities, the now 41 parishes were divided into 13 district rabbinates. Laupheim became the seat of a rabbinical district, as the second largest Jewish community in Württemberg existed there in the 19th century, with 843 members in 1869. The district rabbinates were subordinate to the upper church authority , which was also created in 1832 .
