St. Josef (Mulhouse)

History, architecture and furnishings
A church building association took over the initiative to build the Josefskirche in 1884. The foundation stone was laid on July 14, 1903. It was consecrated on August 15, 1907, two years after completion, by Bishop Wilhelm Schneider .
St. Josef is a neo-Gothic hall church with a polygonally closing choir and transept arms. The tower is 52 meters high.
The equipment took decades. The holy figures were created in the workshops of the Wiedenbrück school at the beginning of the 20th century . In 1907 the painter Eduard Goldkuhle created the Stations of the Cross. In 1934 the walls were painted with saints.
In 1962 the interior of the church was redesigned and the wall painting and some of the saints were removed. The neo-Gothic church windows were replaced by diamond glazing and the side altars and the high pulpit were dismantled. In 1981 the parish church received a new organ .
St. Joseph's Church was given its current interior design in 2001. The altar was moved into the crossing and the walls and vaults were given a new color. Five choir windows designed by the artist Maren Magdalena Sorger from Magdeburg were realized by the Paderborn glass workshop Peters Floatglasmalerei.
