description
Location and church building
A little to the north of the village center of Hausen is the St. Joseph's Church, which is surrounded by open space. Due to its location, height and striking architecture, it occupies a dominant position in the townscape.
The white plastered church with sandstone red corner stones consists of a rectangular nave with a steep gable roof . The polygonal choir with a hipped roof is a little narrower and lower in the east . The ogival main portal is in the west facade; a small side entrance on the north side. From the choir and nave, elements of square buttresses protrude from the wall, which in the case of the nave are only decorative. To the west of the choir is a small, rectangular room, also covered with a gable roof, which is used as a sacristy . On the southwest corner there is a small stair tower for decoration .
To the north of the choir rises a four-and-a-half-story bell tower with a four-sided pyramid roof , slightly buckled in the lower third , which is covered with green glazed shingles. Tower ball and weathercock crown the tower. The corner blocks on the tower shaft and the pointed arched sound arcades make the bell tower appear defensive and the whole church is reminiscent of a castle or a small palace. On the upper floor there is a clock face of the tower clock on each side.
Interior and outfit
The high coffered ceiling of the five-bay interior is drawn in flat and decorated with wooden beams and climbing ornaments. The choir and nave are separated by a triumphal arch . In the choir is the high altar with tabernacle , the reliefs of which depict scenes of the Holy Family and the death of St. Joseph. In front of him stands the celebration altar and ambo designed by Wagner in 1970 .
To the left of the choir in the nave is an altar dedicated to St. Mary . She is shown with Jesus in her hand and a dove, the baby Jesus has a goldfinch in her hand. The altar on the right shows St. Boniface . Both neo-Gothic winged altars as well as the main altar were made in the Sigmaringen art workshop Marmon in 1897 . There is a freely hanging crucifix below the top of the triumphal arch .
14 colored relief pictures of the Way of the Cross , which are arranged in groups of two and three, hang on the long sides . They were made in a French workshop in 1909. On the north side, not far from the Marian altar, there is a pulpit without a sound cover , which is made of wood and decorated with light carvings. Above the main entrance there is a gallery supported by four columns with the organ on its north side . Below the organ gallery on the north and south walls, you can get into the stair tower and outside through pointed arched portals.
