St. Joseph Catholic Church, Dorn-Dürkheim

The present church, dedicated to St. Joseph, was built in 1891 and stands on the site of the Ursula Chapel, which was erected in 1745 and of which two sections of wall remain.

During the First World War, the bells were melted down, and three new ones were cast in 1934, but two bells had to be surrendered again during the Second World War.

In 1965, the church was extensively restored and given new windows. Particularly noteworthy is the rose window above the altar in the choir room, which depicts the Good Shepherd and scenes from the New Testament. It was created by the artist Heinz Hindorf, who also designed the well-known stained glass windows in the west choir of St. Catherine's Church in Oppenheim. The late Gothic pulpit from around 1500 is an art-historical gem of the church.
