Johanniskirche, Lutheran church in Barnstorfer Wald, Rostock, Germany.

The Johanniskirche stands as a religious structure with exterior walls constructed from repurposed bricks of the medieval Jakobikirche format.

Following World War II, architect Otto Bartning designed this church in 1950 to address the religious needs of a growing population of refugees.

The church maintains four active choirs totaling 350 singers, including youth groups named Little Trawlers and Big Trawlers, performing 40 concerts annually.

The congregation offers regular Lutheran services, maintains a YouTube channel for recorded sermons, and accepts digital donations through the spende.app platform.

During the German Democratic Republic period, this church choir received exclusive government permission to produce musical recordings among religious institutions.
