Johanneskirche, Modern church in Kannenfeld district, Basel, Switzerland.

The Johanneskirche is a modern church building in the Kannenfeld district of Basel. The structure features a rectangular form, flat roof, concrete and exposed steel beams, with glass blocks that define its architectural composition and give the building its distinctive character.

Karl Egender and Ernst Friedrich Burckhardt won a competition and built the church in 1936, with an adjoining community wing and parsonage. The building was placed under monument protection in 1996.

The interior reflects 1930s design through its organ pipe arrangement, forward-facing console, and black folding chairs that define the worship space. These elements shape how the room looks and functions, making the era of its creation immediately visible to visitors.

The building houses community facilities that support various activities alongside regular services throughout the week. Visitors can enter the church during opening hours and explore both the worship space and the function of the additional rooms.

The organ stands behind the altar rather than on a rear gallery. Only its asymmetric facade is visible, with pipes rising in three groups from lower left to upper right; the rest sits behind a perforated lattice altar wall. Orgelbau Kuhn built it in 1935 with 36 stops on two manuals and pedal, and Orgelbau Klahre revised it in 2024.
