The Protestant community functioned until the outbreak of World War II. After the war, due to leave the city by the Germans, the church took care of the local Catholics. Since 1945 began to celebrate catholic services. Pastoral ministry exercised by priests from the nearby parish church. St. Michael the Archangel.
