St. Josef (Hetzerath)
The Church of St. Josef is the Roman Catholic branch church of the Hetzerath district of the city of Erkelenz in the Heinsberg district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
history
In 1896 a church building association was founded to build a house of worship in Hetzerath. In 1909 the Aachen architect Fritz Daniels was commissioned to plan. On June 3, 1912, the foundation stone was finally laid and on August 24th it was already allocated. However, the church is not facing east, but facing north. In 1923 a sacristy was added. Around 1953, the single-nave, five - bay neo - Gothic hall church was extended. A two-aisled church with a small north aisle and a wide central nave was added to the east side according to plans by the Erkelenz architect Heinz Tillmanns. The new church was consecrated on August 30, 1953.
The Hetzerath parish was dissolved on January 1, 2010 and has not been an independent parish since then . It was incorporated into the parish of St. Lambertus Erkelenz with some other former parishes. This merged in 2015 with the parish of St. Maria and Elisabeth Erkelenz to form the new large parish of Christkönig Erkelenz.
Furnishing
Inside the church there is modern equipment. The windows of the old church are works by the artist Wolfgang Fröde from 1994 and 1995. Hubert Spierling created the windows from 1957 to 1961.
