history
The mother parish of the Leonding parish church built a branch church in Keferfeld in 1930, but the parish area was incorporated into Linz by the state in the same year. The church was a simple hall construction with a retracted choir and high gable roof according to the plans of Hans Schachermayr from Leonding. During the Second World War , this church was destroyed by bombs on December 27, 1944. After the end of the war, an emergency church was built as a barrack on the existing foundation under Pastor Josef Zauner until 1946 after the rubble had been removed. Josef Zauner was able to win over the architect Rudolf Schwarz for the later new building from 1959 to 1962 . The church was consecrated on October 7, 1962 by the diocesan bishop Franz Zauner .
architecture
The church forms a spacious whole, with a free-standing tower. Seen from there, the church is on the left, an elongated oval in plan. In a bay of the church at the entrance there is a baptismal font, in the rear bay there is the chancel, which widens into a side bay with the organ. In the middle of the tower there is a spacious foyer with a working day chapel to the front and a confessional chapel to the rear. Seen from this on the right, an elongated parish center with a parish hall is set across.
The wall of the church, through the side bay as an ellipse , but with two corners, shows itself with concrete pillars filled with bricks and grid with windows. The flat roof is ribbed with concrete T-beams. The weekday chapel was draped with Mauthausen granite in memory of the destroyed pre-church and the hardship of the Nazi era and is a memorial for the Mauthausen concentration camp in the sense of the builders .
