history
Before this church existed, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Cosmas and Damian had been used as a simultaneous church since 1711 . As a result, there were always disputes. To end this, the village lords of Münster decided to build a Catholic church as a palace church and commissioned the architect Balthasar Neumann . According to his plans, the church was built between 1738 and 1746. The upper lock still exists today, while the lower lock was demolished in 1968. In 1970 a new church was built, separated from the old church by the parish hall.
