History
After World War II, the Catholic population of Seckbach grew, and a new church was planned to meet the need. It was designed by the Frankfurt architects Heinrich Horvatin [de] and Carl Rummel. The ground-breaking was on 16 December 1951. The consecration was on 27 September 1953 by Weihbischof Walther Kampe [de]. It became part of the "Pfarrei neuen Typs" (new type parish) St. Josef in Bornheim on 1 Januar 2015, along with Heilig-Kreuz in Bornheim, Heilig Geist in Riederwald and Herz Jesu in Frankfurt-Fechenheim.
The organ installed in 1953 was built by Kemper Orgelbau [de], originally for the salon of Bertha, Countess von Sierstorpff. It was replaced by a new organ in 1977.
On 1 January 2015, four parishes were combined to St. Josef, with locations (Kirchort) St. Josef [de], Maria Rosenkranz, Heilig Geist and Herz Jesu.
