St. Johannes der Täufer, Catholic church in Holungen, Germany.

St. Johannes der Täufer is a Roman Catholic filial church in Holungen, in the Sonnenstein municipality of Thuringia's Eichsfeld district. The church was expanded with a transept in the years before 1893, when Auxiliary Bishop Augustinus Gockel consecrated it and the altar was moved west. Its tower, topped by a dome renewed in 1905, carries a clock installed in 1908.

The parish's history reaches back to the Middle Ages, when a predecessor church stood on the site of today's village inn. A later church was built onto a defensive watchtower, and although the Thirty Years War left only the tower standing, the church was rebuilt. On 20 June 1893 Auxiliary Bishop Augustinus Gockel of Paderborn consecrated the building after it had been extended with a transept, and the altar was moved west.

The church is a Filialkirche of the parish St. Marien Bischofferode in the Dekanat Leinefelde-Worbis of the Bistum Erfurt, under the patronage of John the Baptist. From 1919 to 1980 Hildesheim Vincentian nuns, brought to Holungen by the local priest Franz Iseke, ran the kindergarten and provided outpatient nursing care.

The church stands in Holungen, part of the Sonnenstein municipality in the Eichsfeld district. Renovation work continued into the 2000s: the roof, a new sacristy, the old sacristy converted into a chancel and new windows date from 1991, and the paths and the Mariengrotte were renewed in 2004. The tower was renewed in 1953, and the clock faces were replaced in 1987.

Lightning struck the building in 1897, prompting the acquisition of a new large bell. A clock was later installed in the tower, marking the rhythm of church life.
