Pfarrkirche Maria Namen, Vienna

Pfarrkirche Maria Namen, Vienna, Modern church building in Vienna, Austria

Pfarrkirche Maria Namen is a Roman Catholic parish church at Hasnerstraße 11 in Ottakring, Vienna's 16th district. Architect Otto Nobis designed the building, constructed from 1972 by Hofmann & Maculan with a modern exposed-concrete facade; it was consecrated on 12 October 1974. Inside are a 1974 Marian statue by Johann Langthaler, a 1976 freestanding tabernacle with gold-enamelled doors by Edda Raymann, and mosaic windows from 1978 by Carl Unger.

A wooden storage yard at Hasnerstraße/Hippgasse was bought on 28 June 1930 on the initiative of priest Josef Gorbach; the Great Depression halted plans by architect Hans Feszler. Carpenter Ignaz Köck insulated an existing shed with Heraklith panels, creating a emergency church for 600 people, consecrated on 12 September 1933 by Bishop Sigismund Waitz. It became an independent parish church on 1 January 1939. The present church, designed by Otto Nobis, was built from 1972 and consecrated on 12 October 1974 by Archbishop-Coadjutor Franz Jachym.

The church keeps objects from the 1933 emergency church: a crucifix with a three-metre corpus carried by a Tyrolean costume group at the 1933 Catholic Day, and a Fatima statue used in the weekday chapel. In 1974 it received a Marian statue carved by Johann Langthaler of Pierbach in the Mühlviertel.

The church stands at Hasnerstraße 11 at the corner of Hippgasse in Ottakring. The entrance faces Hasnerstraße; the modern concrete facade is set back slightly from the street. As an active parish, it is best visited outside service times, and the bells ring in the notes a′, h′, dis′′ and fis′′.

The church holds a crucifix from the 1933 makeshift church whose three-metre corpus was carried through Vienna by a Tyrolean costume group at the Catholic Day. Its four bells were cast in 1974 by Perner of Passau and weigh 400, 300, 180 and 85 kg, sounding a′–h′–dis′′–fis′′.
