Pfarrkirche Allerheiligen, Innsbruck, Parish church in Allerheiligen district, Innsbruck, Austria.
The Pfarrkirche Allerheiligen is a modern parish church with clean architectural lines, designed by Clemens Holzmeister in the western part of Innsbruck. The building reflects postwar architectural principles with its functional layout and straightforward design.
A church on this site was first documented on 13 April 1375, likely an 8th-century chapel dedicated to Saint Korbinian; it stood by the old country road, today's Schneeburggasse, and was demolished in the 18th century. After housing estates were built west of Innsbruck from 1935, an emergency church consecrated to Saint George followed in 1936. Post-war population growth led Clemens Holzmeister to design the present church, consecrated to All Saints on 12 December 1965.
Inside, a Stations of the Cross and a mosaic by Richard Kurt Fischer are displayed; the Czech source describes the mosaic as unfinished. The church is dedicated to All Saints, and its name is shared with the Innsbruck district of Allerheiligen.
The parish centre surrounds a central courtyard; its hall was made directly accessible from the Pfarrplatz during the 2000–2003 renovation. The church stands in the Allerheiligen district on Innsbruck's western edge, near the old country road, today's Schneeburggasse. The chancel was reworked from 2008 to 2012 to suit the Second Vatican Council's requirements.
The organ installed in 2011 by Tyrolean organ builder Christian Erler replaced the original temporary instrument. This pipe organ contributes significantly to the sound of the church's worship services.
