Location and architecture

The listed Herz-Jesu-Atonement Church is located in the Dornbach district on the northwest corner of Dr.-Josef-Resch-Platz near the Hernalser Friedhof . It was built in 1931/32 according to plans by the architect Bruno Buchwieser senior . Its neo-Romanesque style in the form of a basilica is a recourse to historicism .

The nave has three aisles. There are two chapels in the vestibule: the family chapel and the warrior chapel. The furnishings and furnishings of the church are kept simple. The chancel and other elements were redesigned by Ernst Bauernfeind in the 1950s .

The Herz-Jesu-Atonement Church is located on Frauenfeld, where the decisive breakthrough of King Johann III's troops in the battle of Kahlenberg in 1683 . Sobieski against the Ottoman besiegers of Vienna took place. The king carried an image of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa with him, which is why Pope Innocent XI. introduced the feast day of the name of the Virgin in memory of the victory . In the Church of Atonement, the name of the Virgin is celebrated as a specific festival in Hernals.
