Mariahilfkirche (Innsbruck)
The Roman Catholic Landscape Parish Church Mariahilf is a church in the district of Hötting , on the left bank of the Inn in Innsbruck .
history
The reason for the construction was a promise made by the Tyrolean estates (landscape) during the Thirty Years' War in the winter of 1646/47.
Court architect Christoph Gumpp the Younger designed the central domed church in the style of the Italian early baroque . The first Holy Mass could be celebrated on April 23, 1648, and the consecration took place on June 26, 1660 by the auxiliary bishop of Brixen . Until the country house chapel was built in the 1720s, it served as a house of worship for the estates.
On June 13, 1853 she was raised to a parish.
The state of Tyrol still has the patronage, which is why the church is called landscape .
It has always been outside the city of Innsbruck, so it does not belong to the Mariahilf district named after it ( left bank of the Inn downtown ), but today to the Höttinger Au (cadastral municipality of Hötting), and its parish also extends out of town, within the limits of the Streets Höttinger Au - Kranebitter Allee and Speckweg - Sonnenstraße - Botanikerstraße (Mariahilf is divided between the parishes of Hötting , St. Nikolaus and the cathedral parish ).
organ
The parish church has an organ by Johann Pirchner from 1986, on which concerts take place regularly. The slider chest instrument has 20 stops on two manuals and pedal. The actions are mechanical.
