The mountain church in Auerbach, a district of Bensheim, can hardly be overlooked. The church stands on a hill above the historic town center. The church was actually consecrated as a Catholic, but with the Reformation in 1528 the first Protestant pastor was appointed and the Catholic community ceased to exist.

The mountain church in Auerbach was built around 1260/70 in connection with the division of the County of Katzenelnbogen under Count Diether V (older line) and Eberhard I (younger line) von Katzenelnbogen. Since then, Eberhard I. has been the lord of the territory for Auerbach and Hochstädten and probably had the greatest interest in building his own church in Auerbach, since Zwingenberg belonged to Diether V.
In 1479 the Katzenelnbogen family died out with Philip I and under Heinrich III, the Landgrave of Hesse, the dominant western bell tower was built, while the nave was expanded to the north and east, where a choir was added.
The two-winged door from the church tower to the nave in the pointed arched portal marked with the year 1479, which can be dated to the late Romanesque era (around 1250?)
