St. Martin is the patron saint of Idstein, to whom a Gothic church was dedicated in 1330. The present building designed by architect Johannes Krahn was consecrated in 1965. It replaced a church built in 1888 in Gothic revival style and dedicated to Mary Magdalene which was too small for the congregation growing after World War II. After restoration in 2003, a new organ was installed in 2006. Church music in services and concerts, performed by several groups including children's choir and ensembles on historic instruments, have received attention in the Rhein-Main Region. The parish is in long-term ecumenical contact with the main Protestant church of the town, ドイツ語:Unionskirche, which includes two regular ecumenical services and concerts performed by joint groups of both churches. == History of the parish St. Martin == The beginning of Christianity in Idstein is not documented.

The Catholic population of Idstein grew considerably after World War II, when many refugees and ドイツ語:Heimatvertriebene moved to Idstein.〔〔 Minister Hans Usinger first built a ''ドイツ語:Gemeindehaus'' (community center) and pursued from 1961 the building of a larger church.〔 The ドイツ語:Magdalenenkirche was dynamited in 1963.〔〔 The building of the new church began in 1963.
