Pipe Organ

In the parish church of Breitensee, which is a neighbourhood of Penzing, the 14th district of Vienna.

 

The church was built in the neo-Gothic style from 1896 to 1898 according to plans by the Breitensee master builder Ludwig Zatzka and consecrated on October 8, 1898, in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Breitensee had been part of Vienna since 1892.

 

The organ was built at the same time as the church in 1898 by the court organ builder Josef Mauracher from the Austrian organ building family of the same name. It was donated by Ludwig Zatzka and his wife Maria on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph, which is commemorated by a large inscription in the center of the organ case.
