The church, built according to a design by the Oberbaurat Brunne under the supervision of the architect Karl-Heinz Stutte from Geisweid, is located on the Obere Ziegeleistraße in Wenscht , a residential area in Geisweid. There is a large sgraffito by the artist Hermann Kuhmichel on the choir wall .
After the groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 7, 1955 , the foundation stone was laid on July 22, 1956 , on the 50th anniversary of the existence of the Talkirche . The first ringing of the bell dates from Christmas Eve 1956, but the premises could only be occupied towards the end of the following year.
