A chapel to the right of the main altar has an altar with a sculpture of Mary. The entrance area features an icon and a pietà. In 2006 the building was completely restored; an original main altar was removed at the time. The financing of the restoration came from donations of parish members and local businesses. Originally an independent parish, it has belonged to the parish of St. Birgid in Wiesbaden-Bierstadt from 2014.
