The place was owned by the monastery of Zinna for many centuries. It is therefore probable that the Cistercians also built a sacred building in this place, but nothing has been handed down about its existence. In the 20th century, Woltersdorf was a parish of Luckenwalde. The faithful attended the service in the local church of St. John.

The construction of an own church failed for a long time because of the necessary financial means. In 1909, however, the Berlin cigar manufacturer Otto Boenicke donated the funds for a new building. He had grown up in Woltersdorf; his parents owned a paper mill there for a period of time. He commissioned the Berlin master builder Friedrich Metzing with the planning. Metzing based his planning on the Andreaskirche in Berlin-Wannsee and calculated building costs of around 70,000 Reichsmarks. The foundation stone was laid on March 22, 1911, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated by the parish on June 16, 1911. The church dedication took place on November 16, 1911. Craftsmen attached a plaque to the east wall of the nave that referred to the donor. This was stolen by unknown persons in the 1960s and was not replaced until June 15, 2003. In 2006, the parish renovated the roof of the nave and the spire.
