The Lazarist Church is a Roman Catholic church building in Vienna's 7th district, Neubau . She is consecrated to the Immaculate Conception .
Location and architecture
The neo-Gothic hall church by the architect Friedrich von Schmidt is located in the Schottenfeld district between Kaiserstraße and the new building belt . The buildings of the Sophienspital adjoin to the north .
The octagonal, 68 meter high tower of the Lazarist Church is at the crossing of the building. In the tympanum of the main portal on the east side there are colorful sculptures of St. Mary with two angels. The 30-meter-long and 19-meter-high three-aisled interior has a 15-meter-wide transept and is closed off in the west by a choir .
The high altar is the work of the sculptors Holzmann and Dorsch. At the cross altar in the north transept there is a baroque crucifix, the so-called "bear cross". Three side altars are dedicated to Saints Anna , Joseph and Vincent de Paul , the patron saint of the Lazarists. To the left of the St. Anne altar there is a figure from the second half of the 19th century showing the Lazarist missionary Johannes Gabriel Perboyre , who was canonized in 1996 . The baptismal font, on which scenes from the Old and New Testament are depicted, is the work of the sculptor Jakob Adlhart from 1943. Adlhart had already created a large crucifix in 1933, which is attached to a crossing pillar opposite the pulpit.
Saints and Bible scenes are depicted on the church windows. The stained glass with the four Latin Fathers of the Church Gregory the Great , Hieronymus , Augustine of Hippo and Ambrosius of Milan and the four Greek Fathers of the Church John Chrysostom , Basil the Great , Gregory of Nazianzen and Athanasius the Great , who seem to be looking at each other, are remarkable.

history
The Lazaristenkirche was as Ordenskirche for 1853 by Austria appointed Lazaristen built. It was the first building that the architect Friedrich von Schmidt from Württemberg realized in Vienna. Schmidt had received a professorship at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1859 . The foundation stone for the church was laid on September 27, 1860, the 200th anniversary of the death of the Lazarist patron, Vinzenz von Paul, by the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Joseph Othmar von Rauscher . On the eve of the Feast of the Feast of the Conception of Mary in 1862, Cardinal Rauscher consecrated the completed church building to the Immaculate Conception.
The builder Josef Hlávka was responsible for the construction based on the model of the Gothic Elisabeth Church in Marburg . In the porch of the church there are portrait heads depicting Schmidt and Hlávka. Friedrich von Schmidt, who in the meantime had realized his most famous building project, the Vienna City Hall , also designed the Lazarist Church of St. Severin in today's 18th district of Währing around 15 years after the Lazarist Church in Neubau .
The monastery and the parsonage at the Lazarist Church were only built in 1904. In the house chapel on the first floor of the monastery, which was set up in 1970, there is an altar wall designed with pictures by the painter Anton Lehmden . In 1939 the Lazarist Church was elevated to a parish church. Since then, the parish Immaculate Conception has been based here, one of seven parishes in the city dean's office 6/7 . After damage in the Second World War , the church was restored and restored again in 1984.
