Pfarrkirche Krim, Catholic church in Döbling, Austria
Pfarrkirche Krim is a church building in Vienna's Döbling district, featuring a prominent bell tower and combining architectural elements from its original 1932 construction with a western extension added in 1957. The building includes a parish office and community center in its lower level, which underwent comprehensive renovations completed in 2023.
The building was constructed in 1932 but suffered severe bomb damage in September 1944 and required substantial reconstruction afterward. The subsequent expansion between 1955 and 1957 responded to the area's population growth and need for additional space.
The church holds a statue of Saint Jude Thaddeus in its side chapel, created alongside various devotional plaques that reflect the spiritual life of the local community.
The building is accessible by public transportation, and visitors can enter the lower level to access the community center facilities. It is helpful to check opening times beforehand, as these may vary depending on scheduled activities and events.
Hans Wulz painted a new altar work for the church following its expansion in the 1950s, with the parish community actively participating in selecting the artwork. This involvement of the parishioners reflected how much their voice mattered in shaping their prayer space.
