The church was built in 1904 as a chapel for the Hohenlychen sanatoriums and was often used for weddings and baptisms. It was allegedly named after the founder’s wife, whose first name was Helene.

During the occupation of the sanatoriums by the Red Army, the church building was used as a fuel depot; the original interior fittings and the artistically designed windows were lost.

Nowadays a preservation society takes care of the chapel’s restoration and preservation. The church has been available for weddings again since 2005.
