It was called a distinction from the German-reformed church to the unification of the two parishes in 1922. In 1936, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the arrival of French refugees, the parish was brought from the outside, since it was now possible to name them in the same way to rename the square in Hugenottenplatz. This was rejected by the presbytery, since the parish not only originally had French (Huguenot) parishioners, but also from the Palatinate, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Waldenser.
