St. Josef, Aachen, Catholic church and sepulchral chapel in Aachen, Germany.
The St. Josef church features brick construction with a transept and apse, incorporating neo-Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built between 1893 and 1894 according to plans by architect Gerhard Franz Langenberg, the church received consecration from Auxiliary Bishop Hermann Joseph Schmitz in 1898.
The interior walls display a monumental triptych created by Aachen artist Rita Lausberg between 2004 and 2008, addressing contemporary social themes.
The building functions as a columbarium, offering 310 steles with capacity for 1,860 urns, with burial spots available for twenty-year periods.
The church underwent transformation from a parish church to a burial church, incorporating new elements such as a water channel in its 2006 renovation.
