The church was built from 1962 to 1963 according to plans by the architects Paul Eiling and Günther Fiedler and consecrated to Pope Pius X. With the consecration, the new parish of St. Pius was created by way of the parish. In 2003 the community was dissolved as an independent parish and assigned to the newly created parish of Saint Edith Stein, whose mother church is the St. Erpho Church.
