The first (Romanesque) parish church probably stood on the site of the present church, in the middle of the cemetery, which was moved to the east outside the town around 1536. Immediately south of the parish church was the Romanesque St. Leonhard's Chapel, which was demolished in 1807 due to dilapidation. Under the reign of Emperor Charles IV, the construction of a large parish church began, in the first phase of which the mighty east choir was built between 1360 and 1370, which has remained unchanged to this day. The construction of a three-aisled nave did not begin until 1412. Thanks to the Simultaneum, Catholics and Protestants were entitled to use the parish church at precisely defined times, and their property passed equally to both denominations. In 1957 the Simultaneum was dissolved.

On the site of today's church there was initially a previous Romanesque building, which was connected to the St. Leonhard cemetery chapel adjacent to the south (today only visible in the floor plan). After the choir, the nave was built in 1412. From 1488 the church was built by Hans Behaim the Elder. Ä. expanded to the north and south with two-story family chapels. This resulted in a three-aisled vaulted room, which is of the type that stands between the hall and the basilica.
