The parish church, first mentioned about 1100, was listed at the turn of the 13th century in Electoral Trier's "Liber annalium"; it was, along with its parochial area, subject to the collegiate church in Karden. About 1330, it was once again mentioned, this time in the "Taxa generalis" (another Trier directory of holdings). Further mentions are to be found from 1475 and 1656 in the Karden and Zell Archdeaconries’ protocols, and others came in 1592 and the 1552 register also mentioning John the Baptist’s patronage. Saint Bartholomew is also mentioned as a secondary patron.
