Pfarrkirche Guter Hirte, Innsbruck, Modern church in Höttinger Au district, Innsbruck, Austria
Pfarrkirche Guter Hirte is a modern church with a hexagonal structure and steel-reinforced concrete construction located in Innsbruck's Höttinger Au district. The interior features sloping floors that guide toward the altar and large windows that fill the space with natural light.
Construction of this church was initiated in 1934 by the St. Josef-St. Georg building association but was interrupted by World War II. The building was completed between 1956 and 1959.
The tabernacle by Fred Hochschwarzer displays biblical scenes using enamel cell techniques above the main altar. This decorative work creates a visual focal point within the modern worship space.
The parish community holds regular services and provides information about activities on its official website. Visitors can find details about services and special events in advance before planning a visit.
The freestanding bell tower was originally planned to reach 28 meters in height but was reduced to 13 meters. This change was made to meet local building requirements.
