history

inside view

The church goes back in parts to a church building from the 14th century. The right nave was built as a leper church in 1449 and equipped with two altars, dedicated to St. Elisabeth and St. Gertrud were consecrated. In 1672 the current tower and a choir were added. The then Bishop of Münster Christoph Bernhard von Galen placed the church under the patronage of St. Joseph .

Until the beginning of the 20th century the church was the rectorate church of the parish Liebfrauen Überwasser . In 1908 the church became the parish church of the newly formed parish of St. Josef Kinderhaus, which included the surrounding farmers, including those in Coerde and Sprakel . In view of the population growth after the Second World War , the church was expanded in 1953 based on the dimensions and shape of the old church. The left nave, the two transepts and the choir are from this time .

As a result of the liturgical reform , the choir room was redesigned in 1971.

The sacristy , which had been housed in the right transept until then , was moved to an annex in 1993 and the right aisle was incorporated into the church.
