history

The parish of Lainz, which is based in the church, goes back to Lutheran expellees after the Second World War , who settled in the so-called "Wartburg settlement" on Lafitegasse. The daughter parish of Lainz, which was established at the beginning of 1957 - shortly before construction of the rectory began in October 1957 - belonged to the Hietzing parish with its seat in the Kreuzkirche in Penzing . The Friedenskirche, which was started in early summer 1959, was consecrated on November 27, 1960 by Bishop Gerhard May . In 1961 Lainz became an independent parish within the Evangelical Superintendentur AB Vienna . In 1995 the facade was renovated and a new youth room was installed on the gallery.
