history
Initially, an emergency church was built on Waltersdorfer-Strasse and consecrated in 1932 by Cardinal Friedrich Gustav Piffl . The place of worship was confiscated during National Socialism in 1939. After the war, the Leesdorf emergency church was set up in a barn by the Gehrers and released on December 9, 1945 by Cardinal Theodor Innitzer . In 1973 Abbot Burkhard Ellegast sold a suitable building plot at the former farm yard of Melk Abbey in Leesdofer Hauptstraße. On May 15, 1980, the groundbreaking ceremony was carried out by Auxiliary Bishop Florian Kuntner . The laying of the foundation stone only took place on May 16, 1985 with the pastor of the parish church Baden-St. Stephan Prelate Josef Musger (1909–2006). The new church was built from 1980 to 1987 according to the plans of the architect Stefan Bukovac . On September 27, 1987 the church was consecrated on Joseph with Cardinal Franz König on March 19, the solemn feast of the bridegroom of Our Lady. When the parish center was inaugurated by Auxiliary Bishop Kurt Krenn on January 20, 1990, the church was elevated to a parish church.
At first the idea was that the church should be consecrated to Anton Maria Schwartz , who was born in Baden , and that the order of the Kalasantines would take over the parish. Anton Maria Schwartz was beatified by Pope John Paul II in Vienna on June 21, 1998 . As a result, on March 21, 2000, a relic of Father Anton Maria Schwartz was placed in the people's altar by the Kalasantines, General Superior Father Peter Lier COp.
architecture
The low church building over a quarter-circle floor plan with a two-storey pastoral care center with a weekday chapel has a uniform roof as a segmented arched barrel. In the northeast there is a free-standing, compact square bell tower from 1992. The church shows itself with compact, closed wall areas and above it shows a detached, quasi-free-floating roof structure made of two flat, intersecting segmented arched barrels above a light band.
The hall appears as a wide, bright room with an open roof construction on laminated beams on pillars or on pairs of pillars made of wood, which form a corridor in the arched area.
Furnishing
The popular altar, ambo and tabernacle are from the construction time. Ute Brunner created the Stations of the Cross (1987). Anton Wollinek created an icon during the construction period. There is a copy of the miraculous image of Maria Pötsch from the 19th century. In the weekday chapel there are three pictures of the Crucifixion by Jerzy Duda-Gracz (1988).
