history
The current church building is the successor to a church from the late 14th century. With the introduction of the Reformation, the church became the joint property of the Roman Catholic and Reformed congregations, between which there were repeated conflicts over the use of the simultaneous church . With the transfer of local rule from the Electoral Palatinate to the Bishopric of Worms and the almost simultaneous abolition of the Electoral Palatinate Simultaneum in 1706 and 1707, the church came under the sole ownership of the Roman Catholic community. When the left bank of the Rhine was occupied by the French in the course of the coalition wars after 1794 , the last Roman Catholic pastor fled Leiselheim. As a result, the parish was united with the neighboring Pfeddersheim parish and the rectory was sold. The church fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1831.
Since the end of the 19th century, the population of Leiselheim, and with it the number of Catholics, grew significantly, as the neighboring towns of Hochheim and Pfiffligheim were much better connected to the city of Worms by the train station in Pfiffligheim and the Worms tram , which also resulted in better connections Leiselheim had an effect. This made it necessary for the Leiselheim Catholics to have their own church. They commissioned the Mainz Architects Prize to design the church, which was inaugurated in 1934. Ten years later the community was assigned as a subsidiary community of Hochheim.
