Johanniskirche

Johanniskirche is a church building in Berlin-Mitte constructed from brick with Romanesque Revival features. It includes a bell tower and follows the design patterns typical of 19th century German ecclesiastical architecture.

Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed the building, which was completed in 1835 and reflects Berlin's architectural development of that period. Friedrich August Stüler later modified the design, changing aspects of the original structure.

The church takes its name from Saint John and reflects the religious identity of the neighborhood. Visitors can see how the brick structure and its clear forms express the community's spiritual values.

The building is located in Berlin's Moabit district and can be entered by visitors interested in architecture. The church holds regular religious services and welcomes those curious about its design and heritage.

Stüler's revision of the original design led to the addition of an Italian-influenced campanile, which stands apart from what Schinkel initially conceived. This blend of German and southern European style elements gives the structure distinct architectural character.
