After the Reformation there were no more Catholic Christians in Ballenstedt for a long time. Only with the influx of migrant workers and refugees in the 19th and 20th centuries did Catholic life gradually develop again. The blessing took place in 1931 and the church was consecrated on August 21, 1933. It was designed in the style of the Bauhaus and is dedicated to St. Elizabeth of Thuringia.

The images of Saint Elizabeth and Saint Boniface at the church entrance are created using a particularly rare painting technique. This is the sgraffito technique, borrowed from the Italian Renaissance. In this technique, various layers of paint are applied one upon the other and then scratched out again. Upon entering the church, one finds oneself in a simple yet spacious space, flooded with warm light on sunny days.
