Guided Story
As you gaze at the structure, notice the signature touch of architect Gerhard Franz Langenberg. Grabeskirche St. Josef is a notable architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia. On your left, you can see the integral Marienkapelle, a key part of this historic building. Once a vibrant Roman Catholic parish church, it now serves a new, quiet purpose as a columbarium for urn burials. This transformation was needed as the nearby Ostfriedhof reached its capacity. The church thus continues to hold significance for the community, offering a serene place of remembrance.
