The Hütteldorfer parish church is a Roman Catholic church building in the Hütteldorf district of Vienna's 14th district of Penzing . It is dedicated to the Apostle Andrew .

Location and architecture

The free - standing neo-Gothic exposed brick building at Linzer Straße 424 is the work of the architect Richard Jordan . The church area is surrounded by a wall and one to two-storey outbuildings and is closed off from Linzer Strasse by a wrought iron grille. The war memorial soldier on watch on the forecourt of the church was created by Hans Fürst in the 1920s . To the west of the area is the Karl Terkal Park, named after Kammersänger Karl Terkal .

The church building has a facade tower in the south and is closed off by a choir in the north . In between is the nave with a transept . On the east wall is a memorial plaque for Michael Denis with a relief bust of the writer created by Vincenz Pilz and on the west wall the epitaph of Princess Leopoldine von Liechtenstein .

Most of the stained glass and interior furnishings date from the time the church was built (1881/82), including the seating, the baptismal font and the confessional, as well as the organ by Josef Ullmann with a neo-Gothic case and the neo-Gothic altars. The high altar has a row of arcades with figures depicting Saint Francis , Elisabeth of Thuringia , Leopold III. and Severin von Noricum . These, like the figures on the two side altars, are works by the sculptor Rochus Haas , who also created the crossways reliefs. A crucifix in the church, presumably from the 16th century, is of an older date . The pulpit, on the other hand, was only created by Alfred Balcarek in 1959 . A relief by Hans Schwathe on the south wall of the transept dates from 1943 and depicts a soldier with St. Mary . A Pietà sculpture is a work by Franz Barwig the Younger from 1956.

The two-storey rectory in Hütteldorf is one of the outbuildings of the church. It is located east of the church building directly on Linzer Straße. Originally it was a manor built in the second half of the 18th century, the facade of which was partially redesigned in the third quarter of the 19th century.

history

The Hütteldorf parish was founded in 1356 by the then Hütteldorfer landlord, Wernhard Schenk von Ried. A memorial plaque on the east wall of the church has been commemorating him since 1964. In the 19th century the old Gothic parish church was so dilapidated that its steeple had to be demolished in 1864. In 1873 Pastor Emanuel Paletz took over the parish and began planning a new church.

Today's Hütteldorfer parish church was built in 1881/82 on the site of the parish's former farmyard and inaugurated on November 9, 1882. The old parish church was demolished in 1887. Interior restorations took place in 1959 and 1980. The tower was restored in 1979 and 1995.

The parish in the St.-Josef-am-Wolfersberg-Kirche became independent from the parish Hütteldorf in 1939, the one in the Kordonkirche in 1989. The parish Hütteldorf is one of nine parishes to the city ​​dean's office 14 today .
