St. Hubertus und Christophorus

St. Hubertus und Christophorus, Roman Catholic church in Hietzing, Austria

St. Hubertus and Christophorus is a Roman Catholic church at Granichstaedtengasse 73 in Vienna's 13th district, Hietzing. Kurt Klaudy and Georg Lippert designed it, and it was built in 1934–1935 under site manager Anton Liebe. Hans Alexander Brunner made the mosaic windows, Hans Becker painted the murals in the altar niche and on the choir walls, and Karl Engel created the altarpiece and frescoes of the patron saints.

The church was built from 1934 to 1935 to designs by Kurt Klaudy and Georg Lippert, with Anton Liebe supervising construction. It was consecrated on 15 November 1935 by Cardinal Theodor Innitzer. The project followed the settlement of part of the Lainzer Tiergarten after World War I, which created new districts on the right bank of the Lainzerbach and led to disputes between the parishes of Lainz and Mauer.

The church's name honours Saint Hubert, recalling the former hunting ground of the Lainzer Tiergarten, and Saint Christopher, chosen because Vienna had no church dedicated to him while car ownership among the middle class was rising. Cardinal Piffl died before the bells were consecrated, so Cardinal Innitzer blessed them on 23 July 1933 and motor vehicles were blessed at the same time.

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 bells cast by the Pfundner foundry in Vienna-Favoriten were already intended for the future church and were consecrated on 23 July 1933 by Cardinal Theodor Innitzer, who also blessed motor vehicles at the ceremony. Cardinal Friedrich Gustav Piffl had chosen the patrons: Hubertus recalled the former hunting ground, Christophorus was chosen because Vienna still had no church dedicated to him while middle-class car ownership was rising.
