St. Joseph

St. Joseph, Gothic Revival church building in Brunswick, Germany

St. Joseph is a neo-Gothic three-aisled basilica of brick, built to plans by Richard Herzig and consecrated in 1903. It stands about 76 metres above sea level on Goslarsche Straße in Brunswick's western ring area. Inside, roughly 300 seats face an altarpiece with four scenes from the life of Jesus, and three stained-glass choir windows show Mary, the Trinity and Joseph as a carpenter with the Christ child.

Catholics in western Brunswick first used an emergency church in the hall of the former "Schweizer Halle" on Madamenweg, blessed in November 1894. It was closed as dilapidated after about seven years. The foundation stone of the present church was laid in October 1902 and the building was consecrated on 20 December 1903. Bombing on 5 August and 11 October 1944 caused heavy damage; the parish, raised to that status in 1960, was dissolved in 2006.

The church is named after Saint Joseph of Nazareth; its choir windows show him as a carpenter with the Christ Child, alongside Mary and the Trinity. Since 1 November 2006 it has belonged to the parish of St. Aegidien, and a Caritas-run kindergarten of the same name stands next to the church.

The church stands at Goslarsche Straße 6 in the Western Ring Area, at about 76 metres above sea level, and seats roughly 300 people. It belongs to the St. Aegidien parish; since the former St. Joseph parish was dissolved on 1 November 2006, service times should be checked with St. Aegidien before visiting.

The organ, built in 1903 by Furtwängler & Hammer, has 24 stops on two manuals and pedal; it was restored by Braunschweig organ builder Florian Fay in 2015/16 and rededicated on 13 November 2016. Above the Mary window in the choir, seven daggers piercing her heart stand for the Seven Sorrows.
