Johanniskirche

Johanniskirche is a church building in the Lindenhof district with a mix of Romanesque Revival and Art Nouveau elements. The structure follows a Greek cross floor plan with a prominent tower at the southwestern corner and walls of light sandstone.

Construction began in 1901 under architects Robert Curjel and Karl Moser, with the building opening to the public in 1904. The church was heavily damaged during World War II but was later rebuilt and rededicated in 1955 with a new interior design.

The church is named after the evangelist John and reflects the importance religious institutions held in the development of the Lindenhof district. It belongs to a group of four neighboring churches in Mannheim, each named after one of the four evangelists.

The church is located at Rheinaustrasse 19 and is easily accessible on foot. The light sandstone building with its distinctive tower is clearly visible from the street and provides good orientation.

The four neighboring churches in Mannheim are each named after one of the four evangelists, forming a rare religious ensemble in the city. This unusual arrangement makes the district a place of particular interest for visitors interested in religious architecture.
