The church was built in 1888 by the mining company for both denominations.

At that time, the village had 921 residents, half of whom were Protestant and the other half Catholic. In 1870, Protestant services were held in the then-school, while Catholic services took place in a prayer hall directly next to the school. In the summer months, Mass was celebrated once a month, and in winter twice, as the pastor had to come from outside.

The citizens of Friedrichssegen found this insufficient, and as prosperity grew, the mining company commissioned an architect from Wiesbaden to build the "Friedenskirche," a simultaneous church for both denominations. It was the heyday of the village, but just seven years later, the decline became noticeable, and the workers began to migrate. The last Holy Mass for Catholic parishioners took place in this church in 1912, and for the Protestant parishioners in 1917. In 1937, the church, which had become a ruin, was demolished.

The floor plan of the former Friedenskirche was uncovered a few years ago.
