St. Joseph, Catholic church building in Kücknitz, Lübeck, Germany

St. Joseph is a red-brick Catholic parish church in Lübeck-Kücknitz, designed by Carl Mühlenpfordt in Heimatschutz style and consecrated in 1910. It has a steep red-tiled roof with a slender square roof turret topped by a green copper spire, and a lower brick wing to the right. The interior seats about 180 people and has stained-glass windows designed by Erentrud Trost in 1988.

The church was built in 1910 in response to population growth from industrialization and the establishment of blast furnace works in Herrenwyk. It marks the return of the Catholic Church to Lübeck after centuries of Protestant dominance in the region.

The church bears its dedication to Saint Joseph, the patron of workers, which reflects the industrial roots of the Kücknitz neighborhood where factory workers once shaped the parish community.

The church is easily recognizable by its red brick exterior in the industrial Kücknitz district and can be reached on foot. The interior is straightforward to navigate and open to visitors during regular hours.

The organ was built by Marcussen & Søn in 1880 and came from the teacher seminary in Bad Segeberg, which was dissolved in 1927; the church then acquired it. Marcussen extended and renovated the instrument in 1981 and 1982. It has 10 stops on one manual and pedal.
