St.-Johannis-Kirche

The St. Johns Church features three naves of equal height, octagonal columns, and two prominent towers that define the cityscape of Magdeburg.

Originally built between 936 and 941, the church underwent multiple reconstructions after fires, including major rebuilding efforts following the Thirty Years War in 1631.

Martin Luther delivered a sermon at this church on June 26, 1524, marking a pivotal moment in the Protestant transformation of Magdeburg.

Since 1999, the building serves as a concert hall and festival venue, offering excellent acoustics for musical performances and community gatherings.

The church houses remnants of an Arp Schnitger organ, constructed between 1689 and 1695 by the renowned Hamburg organ builder.
