    The Johanneskapelle is a Catholic chapel at the old cemetery in Tiefenbronn. The chapel dates from 1515 and was dedicated to John the Baptist.

      The cemetery chapel was built in 1515 in honor of John the Baptist. It has the shape of a choir closed on three sides. Above the Gothic south portal, in a niche, stands the popular bridge saint of the 18th century, John Nepomuk. The altar inside, with the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan, was donated by Franz Karl von Gemmingen in 1684.

        Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this Tiefenbronn chapel is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elisabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
        The memorial day of John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
