St. Johannis, Lutheran church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
St. Johannis is a church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber built in the style typical of southern German religious architecture, featuring thick stone walls and a striking bell tower. Inside, visitors find a main nave, choir area, and side chapels arranged to create space for both worship and the viewing of architectural details.
The church began as a building project around 1400 and appears in written records from 1403, marking its early importance to the town. Major renovations in 1690 brought significant changes that shaped much of what visitors see today.
The religious structure maintains its status as an architectural heritage monument under Bavarian authority legislation with identification number D-5-6633-0153.
The building stands on Altenthanner Straße 3 and welcomes visitors for both religious services and tours, though visiting hours may vary with local customs. Arriving during quieter times helps you view the interior without crowds.
The church underwent substantial modifications in 1690, which integrated architectural elements that remain visible in the current structure.
