About Neue Heimat
What are the main landmarks in Neue Heimat?
Churches make up most of the record. St. Franziskus and the Pfarrkirche Guter Hirte hold the two parish congregations of the quarter, and the Johanneskirche adds a third place of worship within the same short stretch of Linz streets. One entry is odder than the rest.
The Basis-Endpunkt Neue Heimat marks the end point of a surveying baseline, a working instrument of land measurement that lends the quarter its unlikeliest listed landmark.
What is the history of Neue Heimat?
Neue Heimat keeps little written history of its own. No founding year is recorded for the quarter, and what survives in the register is a set of parish churches rather than a charter, a castle, or a market square of the kind older Linz quarters can point to. The dedications tell the story indirectly.
St. Franziskus, the Pfarrkirche Guter Hirte and the Johanneskirche each mark a congregation serving one more corner of the city, and the Basis-Endpunkt Neue Heimat records a moment when the ground here was measured and fixed.
Where is Neue Heimat?
Neue Heimat forms one of the built-up quarters of Linz, its ground marked at one point by the Basis-Endpunkt Neue Heimat.
