Worthmann & Steinbach

Worthmann and Steinbach was a Chicago-based architectural firm that was active from 1903 through 1928. It was a partnership between Henry W. Worthmann (1857-1946) and John G. Steinbach (1878-?), who was not related to Gustav E. Steinback, the well known church architect from New York City and Stamford CT.

The firm is best remembered for its design of large and elaborate churches in the Chicago area which were built for both Roman Catholic and Lutheran clients. Worthmann and Steinbach were also active outside of Chicago and eventually built for clients in Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
