St. Joseph

St. Joseph, Catholic church building in Schölerberg, Osnabrück, Germany.

St. Joseph is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Schölerberg district of Osnabrück, built in the Neo-Romanesque style to designs by Albert Feldwisch-Drentrup using Ibbenbüren sandstone and brick. Its 65-metre tower carries a clock face and a pyramidal roof, and the cross-shaped interior is covered by a barrel vault, with a dome over the crossing that is the largest in north-west Germany.

St. Joseph was founded as a parish of the southern districts, split from St. Johann, whose congregation counted about 10,000 members around 1900. A church building association was set up in 1903, and the foundation stone was laid in August 1913. Construction stopped for two years after the outbreak of World War I; to prevent use as a military depot, Bishop Wilhelm Berning consecrated the unfinished church on 15 October 1917. The tower followed in 1922.

The church is dedicated to Saint Joseph, and its transept paintings show scenes from the lives of Joseph of Nazareth and Mary. Since 2013 it has held relics of Blessed Hildegard Burjan, and it also keeps relics of Saint Speciosus and Blessed Clemens August Graf von Galen.

The church is easily reachable by public transportation and hosts multiple services throughout the week. It is best to check the opening hours before visiting, as the building is primarily accessible during worship services and designated prayer times.

The dome above the crossing, carried on four pillars, is the largest in northwest Germany. The church also holds relics of Saint Speciosus, of Blessed Clemens August Graf von Galen and, since 2013, of Blessed Hildegard Burjan.
