The earliest documented mention of the church is from 1385. The name refers to the Franconian bishop St. Martin of Tours and thus to the church's origins in the Franconian-Carolingian period in the 7th to 9th centuries. All parts of the building that are still visible today are certainly younger. The oldest part is probably the choir from around 1350.
