St. Joseph

Große Freiheit 43, St. Pauli, Hamburg, Germany

 

There is a Catholic church in the middle of the red-light district on Grosse Freiheit. It looks a bit out of place here in Protestant Hamburg, but it was actually built on Altona land, where there used to be freedom of belief. The streetname Grosse Freiheit (big freedom) still refers to this law. The frontage of the brick-building is decorated with baroque sandstone ornaments and a portal with figures of the Joseph and Jesus Christ. On top of the gable there is a cross with an angel on either side. The church was built by Melchior Tatz of Austria in 1718-1723. During World War II it was heavily damaged, but has been rebuilt in the fashion of the baroque style. Today, it mainly serves the Polish community.
