Am Schöpfwerk Church

The church is situated on the edge of the large-scale Viennese city housing development Am Schöpfwerk, which was constructed 1976–80 on the south slope of the Wienerberg in Altmannsdorf, part of the district of Meidling (Lichtensterngasse 4).

A stairway leads from the rooms on the ground floor to a central vestibule through which the church proper is accessible.

This consists of a central space, with room for 220 people seated and 400 standing, in the shape of a Greek cross surrounded by an ambulatory delineated by concrete pillars.

The white interior, highlighted by green and golden ceramic tiles, is strongly reminiscent of the Jugendstil.

The ceramic Way of the Cross and holy water stoup are by Franz Josef Altenburg, the remaining decorations by Traude Windbrechtinger.
