Already in 788, a church dedicated to Saint Martin is mentioned in a document from Fulda. At that time, the church was in the possession of the local noble family of Otakar.
In 1348, it belonged as a parish church to the Wackernheim church community. In the mid-16th century, at the instigation of the Electoral Palatinate, first the Lutheran and then the Reformed confession was introduced. During the church division, the heavily damaged church, which had been severely affected by the Thirty Years' War, fell to the Reformed, who made up the majority of the population. On the foundation walls of the previous building, the present church with the two-tiered tower was constructed between 1752 and 1756. The Mainz cathedral provost was obligated as the tenth lord to contribute to the construction costs. From the interior furnishings of that time, the gallery is still preserved. In 1838, the staircase on Kirchstraße was built to facilitate access to the elevated church. The high churchyard wall in the north replaced the previously unpaved clay wall starting in 1856.
Incidentally: The Protestant bell was also used for the so-called "police ringing" at 4 o'clock, 11 o'clock, and 1 o'clock. For this, the bell ringer was paid from the community's treasury. The community also took on the costs for the bell ropes.
