For the past few years, it has been the rehearsal venue for the boys' band and for a very long time the home of the 3D Museum.

A predecessor church with a likely rectangular chancel, stone foundations of which were uncovered in 1977/78, probably dates from 1142/46 and was probably dedicated to St. Ursula. Around 1227, a freestanding bell tower (campanile) with an impressive tower hall and Romanesque round-arch portal without a tympanum was built. It was extended around 1238 and connected to the church interior. An extension of the rectangular chancel and certainly a consecration to St. Bartholomew took place after 1302. This church was replaced between 1323 and 1341 by a new building 70 meters long with a Gothic chancel end, which was demonstrably already dedicated to St. George. It was replaced by the construction of the Minster between 1448 and 1499. For the three-aisled hall church, which was widened and extended on both sides, the new tower was only built on the ground floor, while the old tower was extended until 1550.
