Johanniskirche, Lutheran church building in Leipzig, Germany

The Johanniskirche extends 76 meters in length with a 68-meter tower, featuring a 50-meter-long nave and 25-meter-wide interior space.

The church structure dates to the 12th century, beginning as a Romanesque building before receiving substantial modifications, including a major renovation in 1496.

The Thomanerchor, established in 1212, performs regularly at the church, maintaining its status as one of Germany's oldest functioning boys' choirs.

Visitors can access the church through public transportation, with regular religious services and cultural events listed on the official website.

During the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, the French army converted the church into a military hospital and ammunition storage facility.
