St Joseph's Church, Zabrze
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Joseph's Church (Polish: Kościół św. Józefa, German: Josefskirche) in Zabrze is a Roman Catholic church built in the years 1930–1931 in the Expressionist style. It is one of several Brick Expressionist buildings designed by Dominikus Böhm (1880–1955). It is located on the southwest side of central Zabrze at 104 Roosevelta Street.
Groundbreaking for the church began on 31 August 1930. The parish of St. Joseph was founded in 1931, taking over part of the territory of St. Andrew's Parish, and the new church was completed in December 1931. On 4 September 1932, St. Joseph's Church was festively consecrated by Cardinal Adolf Bertram (1859–1945), the Archbishop of Breslau.
