Pfarrkirche Zum Guten Hirten

Pfarrkirche Zum Guten Hirten, Catholic church in Hietzing, Austria

Pfarrkirche Zum Guten Hirten is a modern concrete church building with an asymmetrical form, bearing a cement statue of Christ on its western side. A separate bell support structure with a cement figure marks the exterior appearance at the corner of Bossigasse and Schrutkagasse.

Construction began in 1963 after the Archdiocese of Vienna acquired the land in 1957, with the church consecrated in 1965. Its creation during the post-war period shaped the building's modern architectural style and construction methods.

The parish is named after the Good Shepherd, the title of the bronze figure by Otokar Čičatka on the west-side bell carrier. The Stations of the Cross, made between 1966 and 1971, consist of 42 bronze figures about 1.1 metres tall by Gianluigi Giudici, who placed a likeness of his son who died young in the eighth station.

Access is at the corner of Bossigasse and Schrutkagasse in the Hietzing district, where the modern concrete building is easy to spot from outside. The interior is open for visitors who wish to explore the artworks and spatial design.

The Stations of the Cross by Gianluigi Giudici comprise 42 bronze figures about 1.1 metres tall, made between 1966 and 1971. In the eighth station the sculptor included his own son, who died young, as a memorial. The reliefs were commissioned by long-serving parish priest Pater Carlo Mondini OMV (1923–2005).
