Heilig Geist, Catholic church building in Zürich-Höngg, Switzerland

Heilig Geist is the Roman Catholic parish church of Höngg, at Limmattalstrasse 146 near Meierhofplatz. The first church on this site was built between 1 August 1939 and 30 September 1940 to plans by architect Anton Higi, with Karl Strobel supervising construction; the foundation stone was laid on 17 September 1939 and Bishop Laurenz Matthias Vincenz consecrated the finished church on 6 October 1940. Italian marble for the altars was long delayed by the Second World War.

A church in Höngg was first documented on 8 February 870, when the noble Landeloh gave it to the monastery of St. Gallen. The medieval church, dedicated to St. Maurice, was burned by the Confederates in 1443 and rebuilt by the people of Höngg in 1446. After the Reformation of 1523 it passed to the Reformed. The present Catholic parish was established on 13 December 1942, separated from Guthirt Wipkingen.

The church serves the local Catholic community as a gathering place for worship and religious celebrations. It functions as an important anchor in the Höngg neighborhood where residents meet for Mass and community events.

The church is easily accessible within a quiet residential area and offers regular services for the community. Visits are typically free and times for prayer or services can be confirmed by contacting the church directly.

The first Heilig Geist church was built from 1 August 1939 to 30 September 1940 on Brunnwiesenstrasse, with the foundation stone laid on 17 September 1939. Architect Anton Higi designed it but handed construction to Karl Strobel, who had built the Erlöserkirche in Riesbach in 1936–1937. Wartime conditions delayed Italian marble for the altars; Bishop Laurenz Matthias Vincenz consecrated the church on 6 October 1940.
