When the St. Boniface Chapel at the Blobach square, founded in 1851, became too small for Mühlhausen’s growing Catholic community, plans for the construction of a new church were made in 1884. In 1900 a plot of land was bought in the vicinity of the rail station, which was just being built. The groundbreaking ceremony too place on 14 July 1903, and only two years later, in 1905, the neo-Gothic church building was finished. On 5 August 1907 the consecration took place. Next to the church a rectory and a chaplaincy had been built, too. The last and final addition to the ensemble was a parish hall, the Liborius Wagner House, finished in 1995.
