The history of the church in Giessen goes back to the 11th century. During a study between 1958 and 1960, foundation remains of a tuff stone hall church of 16 x 8 metres were found on the east side, adjacent to the church. Due to flooding in 1275, the western part of the church was washed away and the building collapsed. Approximately eleven years later, in 1286, reconstruction began, with the nave being given the same dimensions. The remaining part of the foundation was used for this. In addition, a three-sided closed choir was built onto the nave. Some time later, a transept chapel was added to the northern side.

In 1886 built a straight-closed hall church with one transept and a facade tower, crowned by a constricted spire. The consistory built on to the rear was built in 1913. Simple traditional interior with pulpit and baptismal garden opposite the transept.
