St. Johann Baptist

St. Johann Baptist is a church building in Neu-Ulm with three aisles, a tower at the southern corner, and a wide west facade with five entrances. The structure combines masonry with modern construction and is shaped by large windows that define the inner space.

An original neo-Romanesque brick building was built here in 1857 as a parish church. In the 1920s it was fundamentally redesigned and received its modern appearance today.

The interior displays bold architectural forms with sharp angular lines that define the church space. The colored windows let light flood in with unexpected hues, creating a particular feeling as you step inside.

The building stands centrally at Johannesplatz in Neu-Ulm and is easy to find. Plan time for a visit, especially if services are taking place, as the interior will be in use then.

The baptismal font displays a representation of the Holy Dove above it, recalling an old tradition. On the outside sits a sculpture of the winged lion of St. Mark, which many visitors overlook.
