At the age of 30, he agreed to be pastor of the distraught St. Joseph's Parish, located in a rural German community in Chicagoland's forest northern territory known as Grosse Pointe. In less than a decade, Fr. Netstraeter turned around the parish's financial troubles and began major expansions. At the same time, he made significant strides in local government and developed a real-estate business that grew the community. As the 1900s progressed, Fr. Netstraeter orchestrated a variety of institutions that would surpass his lifetime, and that have become landmarks of Chicago's North Shore. His achievements would contribute posthumously for over a century, most notably, a legal dispute involving Nazi Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2019, months before the Archdiocese of Chicago attempted to dissolve St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Wilmette, the parish archives were carefully studied to preserve the legacy of Fr.
