Furnishing

Sanctuary

The church is oriented to the southeast. Instead of an empty wooden cross hanging on the outside of the east gable, a glass mosaic cross by Hugo Hußla has been hanging inside the altar since 1977 . The purple color refers to the passion . The four embedded rock crystals are supposed to symbolize the resurrection of Christ and the message of the Gospels .

On the right-hand side there is a bronze statue of Mary raised on a column, holding the baby Jesus in her arms and showing it to the viewer; at her feet are six roses. The baptismal group and the holy water stoup are made by Anton Rückel (1919–1990). Since 2002 there have been 14 small bronze reliefs by the Italian artist Antonio Vedele (1930–1997) as a way of the cross .

The baptismal font , the tabernacle , the ambo and the altar are made of green Italian marble .
