Kościół parafialny pw. Świętego Józefa Rzemieślnika, Wrocław

The Church of Saint Joseph the Craftsman is a modernist Roman Catholic parish church on Przedmieście Oławskie, built in 1932–33. Burned during the 1945 siege of Wrocław, it was rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1946. Inside, it preserves a 1927 baptismal font by metalworker Jaroslav Vonka.

On Przedmieście Oławskie, this is the Church of Saint Joseph the Craftsman, a Roman Catholic parish church dedicated to Joseph of Nazareth. Built between 1932 and 1933 to plans by Joachim Freiherr von Ohlen, it was consecrated on the twenty-sixth of September 1933 by Cardinal Adolf Bertram. Its modernist form is deliberately spare: brick and reinforced concrete lie beneath plaster, and the building is arranged around an octagonal main space.

This central-plan church gathers its sanctuary, side chapels and entrance additions into one compact composition. It became the church of a new parish on the twenty-second of June 1942. During the 1945 siege of Wrocław, the Festung Breslau authorities ordered it burned.

Reconstruction was approved that June, and Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Ferche consecrated the rebuilt church on the nineteenth of March 1946. Work continued until 1949, including repairs to the roof and interior dome and the addition of two sacristies. Inside is a particularly unexpected survivor: a 1927 baptismal font by Wrocław metalworker Jaroslav Vonka, brought here from Saint Hedwig’s Church in Popowice. The church is a protected provincial immovable monument.
