The church was damaged during World War II , the main roof of the church and the roof of the steeple were almost completely covered, the vaulted ceiling was partially broken in. Windows and outer walls had also suffered damage from shrapnel and bombs. Due to the damage, the church could not be used for services immediately after the war. At the end of 1950 the repair work was completed and an inauguration service could be celebrated. In the course of the renovation work, the fresco painting of the Resurrection of Jesus by Edmund Schuitz , which has long shaped the church, was created behind the altar, which was replaced by a choir window at the beginning of the 1990s.
In 1957 a parish hall was built next to the church.
