Johanniskirche, Lutheran church in central Dessau, Germany.
The Johanniskirche features a flat-roofed hall with cross-like extensions and a western bell tower topped by a distinctive spire.
The church, completed in 1702, underwent reconstruction after World War II damage in 1944, with simplified architectural elements finished by 1955.
Three paintings by Lucas Cranach from Marienkirche, depicting biblical scenes including the Last Supper, enhance the interior walls.
The church serves as the central location for Protestant State Church of Anhalt services since the medieval Marienkirche remains unused.
The 1990 Eule organ contains 48 registers across three manuals and pedal, utilizing mechanical tracker actions for precise sound control.
