Kirche Neumargareten

The church of Maria Empfängnis once stood in Meidling, the twelfth district of Vienna, near the border with Margareten. It was built to serve workers who had moved into the expanding district around 1900. The first building, designed by Richard Jordan, was destroyed by bombing in 1944. A new church followed between 1949 and 1953, planned by Helene Koller-Buchwieser and Hans Steineder, though its planned tower was never built.

Inside, the church is a hall with large murals by Hans Alexander Brunner. His work shows the Immaculate Conception surrounded by saints, along with the Stations of the Cross. Behind the altar a fresco depicts the Last Judgement, and in front stands a statue of Mary by Hans Freilinger from 1967. A chapel preserves a statue saved from the earlier church, with windows by Karl Hauck. Outside, a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk recalls an 18th-century legend.

The organ on the rear gallery was built in 1955 by Gebrüder Mauracher. It has three manuals, a pedal and fifty-two registers, an example of 1950s Austrian organ craft. After the parish was dissolved in 2025, discussions continue about the future of the building and its fittings.
