The church has been built in 1686/87 by emigrants from France.
They have been forced to emigrate because of their denomination.
There has been about 500 'French'. They have been called 'Hugenotten'.
It was the first 'Hugennotten Church' in Germany.
This church is still in the denomination of a Evangelical Reformed Church. The worship is held in German since 1857.
