St. Joseph, Catholic parish church in Greifswald, Germany
The Gothic Revival brick building features a four-story west tower with a spire transitioning from square base to octagonal shape.
Construction began in 1869 through Catholic students' initiatives from Westphalia, Rhineland, and Silesia, with official opening in 1871.
The church preserves expressionist designs from the 1930s, including a tabernacle, crucifix, and altar with inscription Et iterum venturus est.
Located at Bahnhofstrasse 15 in Greifswald, the church contains 17 organ stops across two manuals and a pedalboard installed in 1986.
Priest Alfons Maria Wachsmann, who served from 1929 to 1943, opposed National Socialism and received posthumous burial in an honorary grave.
