Expressing their desire for their own parish, the people of the lower town made great efforts to build this church.
On August 10, 1855, Auxiliary Bishop Dr. Friedrich BAUDRI laid the foundation stone. The Cologne cathedral master builder Vinzenz STAZ had provided the plans. But it was not until nine years later, on January 8, 1864, that Senior Pastor RICHARTZ of St. Nicholas (Upper Town) consecrated the church and celebrated the first holy mass at the right side altar. But the church was not finished.

Above the portal of the church are reliefs of the Redeemer and the Mother of God.
The bells of this church were twice a victim of the war. The current bells from 1952 are tuned to dis, fis and a. The old tower clock dates back to 1869.
If we look past the church on the right, we can see the rectory in the background, the foundation stone of which was laid in 1873.

This church in Eupen is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ. Like Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, he is a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. Joseph came from the House of David, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was a carpenter by trade and the fiancé of the Mother of God Mary.
The feast day of Saint Joseph in the calendar of saints is March 19th, and the church also celebrates the feast of "Joseph the Worker" on May 1st.
