The Johanneskirche is a Protestant church in Saarbrücken, Germany, completed in 1898. It is located in the district of St. Johann, opposite the town hall of St. Johann. The neo-Gothic church survived the Second World War almost without damage, although the air raids on Saarbrücken had largely destroyed the city. The church underwent a purifying redesign in the post-war period. Today, not only church services are held in St. John's Church, but also rallies and cultural events are held. In the list of monuments of the Saarland, the church is listed as an individual monument. The church is assigned to the Saar-West church district of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland. The tower of St. John's Church with its height of 74 m is currently the highest church tower in Saarland with its original height of 75 m after the destruction of the tower of Saarbrücken's St. Joseph's Church during the war.
