Johanneskirche, Parish church in Wiehre district, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Johanneskirche features two 60-meter high towers with steep spires and a wide central nave measuring 11 meters with two side aisles of 3.5 meters each.
Construction of the church began in 1894 after architect Josef Durm modified the initial Gothic plans to emphasize Romanesque elements, leading to its consecration in 1899.
The church contains glass windows created by Fritz Geiges between 1898 and 1901, adding artistic value to the religious structure.
The interior space accommodates 900 seats and serves both as a religious gathering place and a venue for musical performances with its Metzler organ.
Unlike traditional Catholic churches oriented eastward, the Johanneskirche faces west and incorporates galleries, which were typically associated with Protestant church designs.
