The building was built in 1448 by the citizens of Kleinschwarzenloh Fritz Beer and Hans Weiß[2] and was built as a field church (little church on the field) to the west outside the town based on the model of the Katzwang fortified church.[3] It was first mentioned in documents in the same year. A short time later, a donation was made by the Rieters of Kornburg, who were based in the neighboring Rieter Castle (at this time still known as the Seckendorff Castle). These made it possible for the church to have its own priest, so that masses could take place there regularly from 1470.[4] The 40 meter high tower was only completed in 1513.> The bell was donated by the Rieter family, who held the patronage (the bell was founded in 1503 as a solo bell (Ave Maria bell)); it is still in the tower.[4 ] The church was closed during the Reformation and damaged in the Second Margrave War in 1552/53.[4] A comprehensive renovation only took place between 1600 and 1608. The wall around the churchyard with the gate was also built during this time. The sandstone blocks of the gate building are marked with the year 1600 and enclose a small cemetery that is protected as an archaeological monument.[1][4]

During the Thirty Years' War, the Rieters moved their family crypt from the badly damaged Kornburg church to the All Saints' Church.[4] A funeral helmet was discovered in 1924 on the death shield of Hans Rieter von Kornburg († 1626), which was a painted-over pot helmet from the middle of the 14th century. The helmet can be seen today in the Germanic National Museum.[5][6]

A replica of this helmet has been installed in the church since 2022, as the helmet exhibited in the Rieter's obituary bears no resemblance to the original in the museum.

With the extinction of the Rieter family in 1753, the church became part of the Nuremberg Holy Spirit Hospital[4] as part of its foundation assets and thus became the property of the city of Nuremberg.[2]

After 1806, the church was threatened with demolition during secularization.[4] However, citizen protests prevented this. The original sacristan's house was built at the same time as the church and burned down in the Thirty Years' War and was rebuilt during the Baroque period in the 1780s and in the second half of the 19th century. A shed extension was added, which is now also owned by the Protestant Church.[1][7] The Bavarian original cadastre shows All Saints' Day in the 1810s as a wasteland with two hearths, its own well, the church and the church field, spatially clearly separated from the old town of Kleinschwarzenloh.[8]

The parish was originally a branch of Katzwang, but since the 18th century it has been part of the parish of Kornburg,[9] today the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Kornburg in the Schwabach deanery.

On May 1, 1968, the church became the property of the Protestant parish of Kornburg.[2]

A small Steinmeyer organ with six registers has been available since 1973.

The church has a high altar by Tilman Riemenschneider from 1491.
