St. Joseph

St. Joseph is a brick church with geometric forms and clean lines located in the Siemensstadt district of Spandau. The building displays the hallmarks of German religious architecture from the 1930s with its distinctive design language.

The church was founded in 1934 and opened in 1935 by architect Hans Hertlein, commissioned by Siemens. It underwent significant modifications during two periods to adapt to changing needs while keeping its core character intact.

The church serves as a neighborhood landmark where people gather for religious services and community events throughout the year. Inside, artistic works depicting scenes from Saint Joseph's life catch the eye of visitors exploring the interior.

The church sits at the intersection of Natalissteig and Goebelstraße in the Spandau district and is easy to reach. It holds regular services and community activities throughout the week that welcome visitors.

The building was adapted between 1943-1950 and again in 1973-1974 while keeping its heritage status intact. These changes show how the church responded to different periods without losing its original character.
