Martin Luther Church (Spittal an der Drau)
The Protestant Martin Luther Church in Spittal an der Drau was built in 1908/09 according to plans by Clemens M. Katter and Gustav Knell from Vienna.
history
From 1904 Julius Schacht worked as vicar in Spittal. In 1904 Spittal became a branch parish of Unterhaus, and in 1921 it became an independent Protestant parish. The municipality included the area around Spittal, the Mölltal and from 1925 to 1954 all of East Tyrol .
church
The church stands on a quarry stone wall base and has a clear corner block made of natural stone on all components. A three-axis vestibule stands in front of the striking, steep-gabled entrance facade. The slightly set side tower with rounded clock gables is crowned by a four-sided, very pointed helmet. Inside, a coffered, wooden trapezoidal vault extends over the ship. The retracted apse has a semi-domed arch. A blessing Christ and a blessed family are depicted on the three apse windows.
Rectory
The villa-like parsonage with a mighty hipped roof, which is attached to the side of the church, was built with the church. In 1976, a new community center was built behind the church and rectory based on plans by architects Egerer, Kienzl and Sautner.
