The parish church was built by the architect Bernhard Müller-Ruby (1886–1952) in the neo-baroque style between 1927 and 1929. The architect had previously worked in the Beuron monastery . Striking and unusual is the tower with an onion dome , which sits on the roof in the middle of the church like a ridge turret, and gives an idea of the baroque character of the church building. Five bells hang in the tower.

The interior of the church was initially kept very simple. Only gradually did it get its current equipment. So was 1939 baptismal font from stucco marble set in 1940 of today's high altar was built, replacing a simple altar. Despite war-related restrictions, the two side altars could be erected in 1941, the pulpit was added in 1942 and the choir stalls in 1943. Finally, in 1949, an Anabaptist group was placed behind the baptismal font.
The most valuable pieces of the church are two altarpieces from the Baroque period , one is “ Assumption of Mary ” by Jacob Carl Stauder from 1717 and a second “Adoration of the Magi” by Heinrich Lihl from 1747, which decorates the high altar during the Christmas season while it is in the rest of the time it hangs on one of the pillars of the church interior.
All other works of art were created by Freiburg artists between the 1920s and 1940s. The neo-baroque font and the group of Anabaptists were designed by Franz-Valentin Hemmerle . The colored glass paintings in the oculi windows of the aisles are also by Hemmerle.
The organ was installed in 1935 by Mönch Orgelbau . It has four manuals and pedal , 45 registers and around 3500 pipes.
Surroundings
The church was built on the site of the former Böhringer estate; its classicist mansion was converted into a rectory, barn and horse stable in the south of the site were converted into a community hall. The Mary Help hall was immediately after the Second World War, one of the few intact halls in the city that stood for events.
Since the parish needed funds to build a new kindergarten and a new parish hall, the old parish hall and part of the site were sold and partially rebuilt. After a long discussion, the investor agreed not to demolish the old hall, but to convert it for residential purposes. The new kindergarten is now immediately south of the church, the new community hall, completed in 2019, immediately to the west.
