St. Paul (Salzburg)
The council parish church of St. Paul with parish center is a Roman Catholic church in the Riedenburg district of the city of Salzburg . Auxiliary Bishop Andreas Laun consecrated the church on June 30, 1996.
From 1972 to 1993 a precursor church existed as a parish hall, which was classified as dilapidated and abandoned. Architect Erio Hofmann and architect Adalbert Rothenthal were commissioned with the new building. The church with steeple and the parish center are on Eduard-Herget-Straße. A public inner courtyard closed on three sides was formed between the two structures. The church was connected to the parish center with an arcade. At the end of Nussdorferstrasse, an existing building was integrated and expanded into a kindergarten.
The order for the interior design and furnishing of the church went to the visual artist Hubert Schmalix . The chancel received a 115 m² fresco .
The artist Richard Hirschbäck designed the three entrance portals in glass with the theme of circle, square and triangle and the triangular glass windows in the organ gallery in the warm colors of gold, red and yellow. He executed the triangular altar windows in cool colors. Due to the easted altar wall, the morning sun shines in the church.
The sculptor Hartwig Rainer Mülleitner designed the weekday altar from a raw spruce root with several stone inclusions and inlaid a stone cross made of serpentinite at the top and ended with a circular glass plate.
