Exact data on the beginning and duration of the church building and the builder are unknown. It is believed that the initiative for building the church came from Kaiserswerth Abbey or Gerresheim Abbey. The core of the church (west tower, nave, choir square with apse) was probably built in the second half of the 12th century.
