    Previously, a small chapel dedicated to Mary is believed to have stood on the site of St. Catherine's Church, but it was demolished in 1680. The new church was consecrated after just one year of construction.

    The church was renovated in 1979/80. The Baroque pulpit from 1774 and the valuable baptismal font with its pewter basin, dating from the same period, were restored to their original state ("Dresden Baroque").

    The heated (formerly stately) prayer room is used by senior citizens, and church services are held there during the winter.
