Johanneskirche, Gothic Revival church in Darmstadt, Germany.

The Johanneskirche is a Gothic Revival church built from 1894 designs by Heinrich von Schmidt, with a 61-metre tower of rough dark stone rising to a steep spire clad in pale green panels. A shorter round turret with a matching green conical roof stands beside it. The tower has narrow openings, a clock face, a large pointed window and a gabled entrance with a round-arched doorway.

The neo-Gothic church was built to plans by Munich architect Heinrich von Schmidt under site manager Karl Schwartze for the newly founded Johannesgemeinde and consecrated in 1894. Air raids in 1943/44 largely destroyed it and it burned out completely. Rebuilt in 1952 under Karl Schaefer with financial support from the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church in Washington, it lost many neo-Gothic details. Its four bronze bells by Andreas Hamm of Frankenthal, cast in 1894, survived wartime confiscation and returned in 1951.

The church gave its name to the Johannesviertel, a district originally called Blumenthalviertel after its developer Heinrich Blumenthal. The square before the main entrance, renamed Johannesplatz in 2010–2011, replaced a 1970s layout. Since 1957 the interior has held the Schwarzbeck figures by Fritz Schwarzbeck.

The church holds regular services and community events throughout the year, making it accessible to visitors during these times. Plan your visit around service schedules, as the building may be reserved for religious ceremonies.

The four bronze bells in the 61-metre tower were cast in 1894 by Andreas Hamm of Frankenthal and survived the Second World War: confiscated as metal donations, they were stored in Hamburg and returned to Darmstadt in 1951. The 1952 Steinmeyer organ, Opus 1831 with 40 stops, combines Romantic organ-building with the German organ movement.
