History
[edit]In 1923, the parish bought a property to build a church, designed by Martin Weber on a commissioned by minister Georg Heinrich Hörle. Groundbraking was on 13 July 1930. It was dedicated by Bishop Antonius Hilfrich on 20 September 1931.
The church was severely damaged during World War II. It was restored after the war. Wilhelm Kempf, later Bishop of Limburg, was parish priest of the congregation from 1942 to 1949. From 1991, Peter Reulein was the church musician, who moved then to the Liebfrauen in the centre of Frankfurt.
On 1 January 2015, four parishes were combined to St. Josef, with locations (Kirchort) St. Josef , Maria Rosenkranz, Heilig Geist and Herz Jesu.[2][3]
Building
[edit]The church was designed intentionally modest, different from more monumental works by Weber such as Heilig Kreuz in Bornheim.[4] The church is connected to the minister's house.
