Johanneskirche Innsbruck, University church in Innsbruck, Austria

Johanneskirche is a Baroque Roman Catholic church on the Innrain in Innsbruck, built from 1729 to 1732 to designs by Georg Anton Gumpp after Italian models. Its high-Baroque exterior long marked the western end of the Innrain, and a porch was added in 1750. Inside, ceiling paintings by Josef Schöpf, created in 1794, cover the vaults.

A chapel stood on the site from 1721, promoted by court building clerk Josef Hyazinth Dörflinger. The architect Georg Anton Gumpp built the present Baroque church between 1729 and 1732, begun in the year Saint John of Nepomuk was canonized. Regular services started in 1748; Redemptorists served here until their Maximilianstrasse monastery was finished, followed by Benedictines. Since 1993 it has been the university church.

The church is dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk and was begun in 1729, the year of his canonization. From 1945 it also served Innsbruck's Hungarian community, and since 1993 it has been the university church. The name was formerly written Johanniskirche, with an i in the genitive form.

Johanneskirche stands on the Innrain, at the Bischof-Reinhold-Stecher-Platz, and long formed the western end of that street. It has served as the university church since 1993, so visitors should time their look inside around university and parish services. The south side, with its memorial plaque, is visible from the street.

The south wall holds a memorial plaque made from breccia concrete dedicated to members of the K.Ö.H.V. Leopoldina Innsbruck corps who died in both World Wars. This quiet remembrance of local war losses shows how the church has remained a place of community and remembrance for the academic population over the years.
