In 1864 he built in Feuerbach another factory for the production of Chininpräparaten and opium - alkaloids . Julius Jobst was a nephew of Karl Jobst (1816-1896), with whom he ran the entire factory from 1865 onwards. In 1868 he founded a branch in Milan . In 1887 after merging with the United Quinine Factory Zimmer & Cie. (Frankfurt am Main) he became a board member of the entire company.

Julius von Jobst's interest was, among other things, the expansion of the waterways in southern Germany. In 1897, for example, he and Albert Brinzinger founded the Committee for the Elevation of Neckar Shipping , which continued to exist as the Neckar-Danube Canal Committee from 1903 , and was a member of the board of directors of the Southwest German Canal Association, founded in 1916, which also sought to connect the Rhine and Danube across the Neckar .

The church was built from 1896 to 1899 according to plans by the architect Robert von Reinhardt , inaugurated on April 3, 1899 and badly damaged in the Second World War . The reconstruction took place from 1954 to 1957 according to plans by Helmut Erdle. The old church tower was included in the planning, but covered with a new clinker facade.
