The building was built from 1958 to 1960 and inaugurated on April 17, 1960, Easter Sunday. The Michaelskirche is a listed building. The single, 35-meter-high laminated bell tower is striking. This is illuminated annually from September 29th, Michael’s Day, to Easter Sunday, in the colors of the church year or installed as an art project.

This Protestant church in Darmstadt was consecrated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - on paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints calendar is September 29th.
