The Josephskirche was built between 1900 and 1902 by the St. Gallen architect August Hardegger as a parish church for the rapidly growing Catholic population in the Kleinbasel working-class districts. With its original 1,400 seats, it is the largest Catholic church in Basel.
In 1996, the building was added to the city's list of monuments.
