Greek Orthodox Church
The Greek Orthodox Church, which is officially known in Austria as Greek Oriental, exists in Vienna since the 18th Century. Due to the tolerance patent of the Emperor Joseph II the two historic churches "the Holy Trinity" and " to St. George" have been founded which are responsible for the pastoral care of Orthodox Christians in Vienna, Austria today.
Today, about 18,000 believers live in Austria, 10,000 of them in Vienna. Great personalities of public life in Vienna, such as Simon Baron Sina, Theodor von Karajan, Nikolaus Dumba, Basilio Calafati, have been members of the Greek Orthodox Church and have played an important role in the economy and in the cultural and political life of Vienna and the monarchy.
In 1963, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople built the Greek-Oriental Metropolis of Austria, headquartered in Vienna. Today, the Metropolis of Austria is among the countries of Austria and Hungary.
Actual Metropolitan of Austria and Exarch of Hungary and Central Europe is Archbishop Arsenius (Kardamakis).
By Orthodoxengesetz (Orthodox Churches Act) of 1967, the Orthodox Church in Austria was legally recognized.
The Greek Orthodox Church in Austria is under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
In the spirit of the ecumenical movement, the Greek Oriental Church in Austria is making great contributions for the promotion of the dialogue between the Christian churches in the context of the by Cardinal König grounded foundation "Pro Oriente" and the World Council of Churches in Austria.
