history

Originally the parish of Glanzingen belonged to the parish of Pötzleinsdorf . The way to the parish church was difficult for the population, especially in winter, and over time the church proved to be too small. That is why the services held in the Glanzing Children's Clinic from 1934 onwards were also made available to the local population. The plans for the construction of a new church, which were already in place in 1937, could no longer be realized due to the outbreak of the Second World War . In the first days after the war, in May 1945, the first provisional church services were held in a garage at Koschatgasse 112. According to this, the City of Vienna made a plot of land in the city's Glanzinggasse gardens available for the construction of a church in July 1945. First a wooden barrack was built there, which could accommodate around 150 visitors. On September 29, 1946, this barrack was consecrated under the title of Annunciation . However, it would be a few years before a real church was built. In 1957 the church was able to acquire an experimental garden from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences ( Krottenbachstrasse 120), in which it built the parish church of the Annunciation between 1969 and 1970 according to the plans of the architect Josef Lackner .

The wooden barracks were again demolished in 1972 and continued to be used as a provisional church in the Am Biberhaufen settlement in the Danube city until 2001. The building was adapted as an “emergency gallery” by the artist Reinhold Zisser in 2015, and since 2017 it has been in a still undeveloped area of ​​the Seestadt Aspern until further notice .

On January 1, 2016, the parish was dissolved and the area of ​​the parish of Franz von Sales was added. Since then, the parish church in Glanzingen has been a branch church of the parish of Franz von Sales.

The bell in the free-standing bell carrier comes from the former emergency church St. Josef in the 22nd district and came to Glanzing in 2001. It sounds g sharp, weighs 70 kg and was cast in 1956 by the Pfundner bell foundry .
