The crypt, the round arch arcades of the central nave as well as the outer wall of the southern aisle are received from this origin construction.
In 1157/58 the square tower was established. From 1212 to 1218 the church above the crypt became a new-built based on the old plan.

From 1891 to 1897 and from 1964 to 1978 extensive restorations took place. A sarcophagus created by Elmar Hillebrand was put up in the crypt in 1960. In it there are the transferred relics of holy Felicitas.
