Johanneskirche, Lutheran church in Meissen-Cölln, Germany.

Johanneskirche is a neo-Gothic church built 1895–1898 to plans by Theodor Quentin, with a cross-shaped plan and a 64.5-metre west tower. Its walls mix local violet granite, Postelwitz and Cotta sandstone and Rochlitz porphyry; the interior is covered by cross-ribbed vaults and lit by stained-glass windows made by Türcke & Schlein of Zittau.

The church was built between 1895 and 1898 to designs by Theodor Quentin, with Hans Klinke of Meissen-Cölln overseeing construction. The foundation stone was laid on 26 September 1895, and the church was consecrated on 24 October 1898. In 1974 the roof turret above the crossing was removed, and the roof was renewed from 1979 to 1985 without restoring its original pattern. The interior and windows were renovated in 1985–1986, and the latest renovation concluded on 29 October 2023 with a festive service for the church's 125th anniversary.

The church's fittings reflect local ceramic art: the altar and pulpit are made of clay in majolica colours, the altar made by SOMAG in Meissen and the pulpit by Ernst Teichert GmbH. The baptismal font of polished Cölln granite and French limestone holds a 1642 tin bowl from the Urbanskirche, engraved with four angels and donor names.

The church is located in the Cölln district and can be easily reached on foot from central Meissen. Visitors should check visiting hours in advance and be prepared for stairs and narrow interior passages.

The baptismal font is made of polished Cölln granite and French limestone, carved in a granite workshop in Weißenstadt, Bavaria, and its rim carries a vine motif with the inscription "Weinstock hilf, daß deine Reben dich im Glauben stets umgeben". The tin baptismal basin of 1642, with Meissen assay marks and four angels in arched niches, came from the older Urbanskirche.
