The church was built between 1398 and 1515 and was planned as the burial place of the Electors of the Palatinate and as a representative church for the Electorate of the Palatinate's residence city. The princes' graves were devastated during the heavy destruction in the War of the Palatinate Succession, so that today only the grave of the builder of the church's choir, Elector Rupert III, who was German king as Rupert I, remains in the church. The Church of the Holy Spirit is also known as the former location of the Bibliotheca Palatina and for its eventful denominational history, which is closely linked to the history of Heidelberg. From 1706 to 1936 the church was divided into two parts by a dividing wall. The nave was Protestant, the choir Catholic. Since 1936 the entire church has belonged to the Evangelical Church in Baden.
