history

View of the altar

Until the middle of the 19th century, the Catholics in Beuel were part of the parish of St. Paul in Vilich . In 1875 the St. Josefs-Bauverein was established, which acquired the property on which the church stands today. On August 15, 1880, the foundation stone for the construction of the Church of St. Joseph was laid. The first phase of construction was completed in 1882. In 1904 the three-aisled church was consecrated.

Choir organ

In 2014 the organ builder Thomas B. Gaida (Saarbrücken) built a choir organ behind the high altar with the function of a remote control with 9 registers in a swell box. The instrument can - together with the main organ - be controlled from a mobile console in the choir room. This new console also includes the option of expanding the sound spectrum of the pipe organs with electronic sounds using a synthesizer .
