At the time of the introduction of the Reformation, Spiesheim had one dedicated to St. Stephen parish church. It served the Reformed congregation as a place of worship until 1706. In that year the congregation lost its church as a result of the Palatinate church division and bought a barn called "Auf dem Liding", which was set up as a place of worship. The first plans to build a new church dated from 1788 and in 1789 the construction of the foundations began. A lack of money, French occupation, two wars and finally the incorporation of Rheinhessen into the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt are some of the reasons that prevented construction from continuing for five decades. In the spring of 1844, further construction began under the direction of the district master builder Rhumbler von Alzey. On January 4th, 1846 the church was inaugurated by the Rheinhessen Superintendent Nonweiler. Viewing: Possible by prior arrangement
