The most extensive intervention in the historical structure was in 1931 with the construction of the new nave, whereby part of the nave of the old church remained and is now used as a choir . The church was a branch church of the parish churchprüfunging , later it became part of the church in Ziegetsdorf and is now integrated in the association of the pastoral care unit St. Paul .
