It replaced a church built in 1888 in Gothic Revival style and dedicated to Mary Magdalene.

Church music in services and concerts, performed by several groups including a children's choir and ensembles playing historic instruments, have received attention in the Rhein-Main Region.

In 1884, the minister Wilhelm Schilo began the building of a church for a growing congregation, collecting money all over Germany.

[1] The architect Aloys Vogt, from the local Baugewerbeschule (School for building trades), designed a hall church with two aisles in Gothic Revival style, built from 1887 to 1888.

[3] The building, seating 135 people, was dedicated to Mary Magdalene (Magdalenenkirche) by Bishop Karl Klein on 8 October 1888.

[1][2] Minister Hans Usinger first built a Gemeindehaus (community center) and pursued from 1961 the building of a larger church.

In a simple shape, a single long nave is concluded by a semicircle choir around the altar.

[3] Low stained glass windows forming the Stations of the Cross were designed by Paul Corazolla from Berlin.

The layout of its great division (Hauptwerk) reflects the classic organ construction of the Baroque period, whilst the swell division (or swell box) (Schwellwerk) has the timbre of the Romantic, which makes it possible to play a wide range of the organ repertoire from different eras.

[12] In 2005 Graham Waterhouse was the soloist in the premiere of his Cello Concerto in the chamber version on 5 August 2005.

The repertory includes motets such as Bohuslav Matěj Černohorský's Laudetur Jesus Christus, Kuhnau's Tristis est anima mea, Rheinberger's Abendlied and Bruckner's Locus iste.

The groups have also included contemporary music, such as that by Heinz Werner Zimmermann, Pärt's De profundis, Barber's Agnus Dei, Sandström's Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, and Whitacre's Lux Aurumque.

The Martinis have performed Bach cantatas, Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, BWV 106 (Actus tragicus), in Geistliche Abendmusik (a Vespers service) on 20 November 2005, and Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot, BWV 39, in a cantata service.

[16] In 2009 they sang with other choirs of the diocese in the Limburg Cathedral from the Missa primi toni octo vocum of Stefano Bernardi for double chorus, conducted by Joachim Dreher and Franz Fink.

[18] In 2016, they performed at the Cathedral the premiere of the oratorio Laudato si' with the choirs of Liebfrauen, Frankfurt, conducted by the composer Peter Reulein.

Specialized orchestras on period instruments, namely La Beata Olanda (Freiburg), Antichi Strumenti (Mulhouse), Main-Barockorchester Frankfurt and L'arpa festante (Munich), accompanied works by Bach, Buxtehude, Handel, Haydn and Schütz in historically informed performances, also the church's groups Capella lignea and Barock-Consort St. Martin.

Two concerts of large works also included the De Wase Kantorij, a choir from the Belgian sister city Zwijndrecht, in international collaboration.
