The parish in Rosenheim was founded in 1767.
The first church building constructed in Rosenheim in 1821 was of wood. It was renovated in 1859, but fell into disrepair and was dismantled in 1876. In 1884, construction on a new brick building was begun, with dedication of the new church held on 21 September 1886. This building could seat 1,200 worshipers. The ruins of this building still stand.
Rosenheim was founded on 27 July 1765 by the Government as a Lutheran colony.
