St. Hubertus und Christophorus, Roman Catholic church in Hietzing, Austria
St. Hubertus and Christophorus is a Roman Catholic church in Vienna's 13th district, built in the 1930s according to designs by Kurt Klaudy and Georg Lippert. The building features mosaics by Hans Alexander Brunner and houses a modern organ built in the 1990s.
Construction of the church began in 1934 and concluded two years later with the formal blessing by Cardinal Innitzer in 1935. The project arose from the growing need for religious facilities in the rapidly developing district.
The church serves as a gathering place for the neighborhood through regular services and community events. From early January through the 6th, traditional carol singing draws people together for shared celebration.
The church is open for services and welcomes visitors during regular hours. It sits in a residential neighborhood of the 13th district with convenient access to public transport and nearby parking.
The two church bells were named after patron saints that reflect different aspects of daily life in the area. This naming choice shows how the church connected the region's hunting heritage with the modern challenge of automobile traffic in Vienna's expanding city.
