St. Johann Baptist, Catholic church in Schramberg, Germany
St. Johann Baptist is a church building in Schramberg featuring a triple portal entrance and modern architectural design. The structure impresses through clear lines and carefully placed windows that direct natural light into the interior spaces.
The building replaced a smaller neo-Romanesque brick church and was designed by church builder Dominikus Böhm. Only the eastern section of the original structure remained intact and continues to influence the overall appearance today.
The interior uses angular forms and directed light to create a striking visual effect that visitors immediately notice when they enter. This design approach shapes how the space feels and how people move through it.
The baptismal chapel receives daylight through carefully positioned windows that illuminate the baptismal font. This creates good orientation during a visit and pleasant lighting conditions in this area.
Outside the building stands a sculpture featuring a winged lion that represents St. Mark and holds an open copy of the New Testament. This figure is an unusual detail that many visitors overlook.
