Those interested in history will be impressed by the Othmarkirche in Mödling that churches have been standing here on the slope of the calendar mountain (= bare land) for more than 1000 years and that the current building is the seventh church in uninterrupted sequence at this location. He will think of the destruction of the Romanesque church by the Hungarians in 1252 and the horrors of the Turkish wars in 1529 and 1683.

Construction of the Othmark Church began on May 13, 1454 under Pastor Johannes Hinderbach. An inscription above the main entrance reminds of this. Before that, six predecessor churches had already stood on the site of today's Othmarkirche. The oldest documented predecessor church was a Carolingian church from the 9th century. A church has stood on the site of the Othmarkirche for over 1100 years.
