Salvator at Wienerfeld
Salvator am Wienerfeld is the name of a Roman Catholic branch church in Vienna's 10th district of Favoriten . It is located at the corner of Neilreichgasse / Wienerfeldgasse on the edge of the Wienerfeldsiedlung on the southern slope of the Wienerberg .
history
Within the Wienerfeldsiedlung, an emergency worship place was set up in 1962 in a former horse stable of the Wienerberger Ziegelwerke, and from 1970 a meeting room in a residential complex was used for church services. The parish church Salvator am Wienerfeld was built in 1978/79 according to plans by the architect Johannes Spalt and inaugurated by Archbishop-Coadjutor Franz Jachym . The parish and church, which belong to City Deanery 10 , were looked after by Salvatorians . The parish currently has around 3200 parishioners. On September 1, 2015 the parish was abolished and the parish area of the parish Christ on Wienerberg was added. Since then the church has been a branch church of the parish of Christ on Wienerberg.
Church building
The church building has no tower and unites the church and the rectory under one large roof. The exterior view is determined by a wooden post construction (filled with light-colored concrete blocks), a surrounding ribbon of windows and an umbrella-like protruding flat roof. The almost square interior of the church shows the wooden supporting structure and has a uniform facility. In the church there is a triptych by Herbert Boeckl with the hymn to Maria (1934) in the middle, pictures of Saints Stephanus and Johannes Nepomuk on the wings inside (1943) and Noli me tangere (1944/45) outside. The organ was originally designed by Michele Dacci in 1741 and was rebuilt in 1984. It doesn't have the equal temperament that became common in the 19th century .
