Popular around Wurzbach
The location of the church is historically extremely interesting. The nearby Rodach river formerly formed the border between the Protestant Margraviate of Bayreuth and the Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg. Nordhalben itself was traditionally Catholic. However, with the influx of industrial workers at the beginning of the 20th century, the number of Protestants in the region grew. As the journey to the nearest Protestant service in Geroldsgrün, six kilometers away, was arduous, a "Betsaalverein" (prayer hall association) was founded in 1908. After years in provisional rooms (such as a factory hall), a local couple finally donated the land for the church construction.

This historic stone from the Middle Ages is located in the Valley of Love, right at the confluence of the Titschengrundbach and the Rodach. At that time, three lordships bordered here: the territory of the Bishop of Bamberg, that of the Margrave of Bayreuth and that of Count Reuss of Plauen. During the time of the division of Germany, it was a marker of the "Iron Curtain". Today, it only marks the border between Bavaria and Thuringia.
