The current instrument was built by Jean-Georges Koenig from Bouquenom (67) and inaugurated on February 27, 1971 by Annie Isoir, titulaire and André Isoir. The manufacture of the piping was entrusted to Klein de Woerth (67).

In 1897, the first wooden temple was built. A cult association was then created on January 5, 1907. In 1924, the temple was demolished to allow the expansion of the school of teachers. The parish bought the former property of the sculptor Leopold Morice, 53 Erlanger Street, where worship was then celebrated in the old workshop. A new temple was raised in 1931-1932 by Charles Wulffleff and Aloïs Verrey. Its decoration was entrusted by the Swiss painter Louis Rivier, and the Swiss sculptor Édouard Sandoz. As this second temple proved to be too small, it was demolished to make way for a new building, in 1971, led by the Swiss architect Guido Cocchi.
