Founded with the introduction of the Reformation, the parish of Hain-Gründau became independent in 1581. Destroyed in the turmoil of the 30 Years War, it was restored from 1715. All that remains of the original cemetery is a water connection from which fresh water can be drawn.

Saint Laurentius, to whom this church in Hain-Gründau is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was Archdeacon of the Pope and asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure of the Church. Laurentius asked for three days, in the meantime distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and after the agreed time came with the poor to the emperor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then martyred to death, legend has it that he was alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Laurentius - roasted over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and told his executioner on the one hand he was ready, whether he didn't want to turn him over.
The memorial day of Saint Laurentius in the calendar of saints is August 10th.
