    The St. John's Church is a late Gothic two-aisled brick building on the foundations of an older fieldstone church, and has a separate bell tower. The medieval wall and ceiling paintings were only discovered in 1901 under a coat of paint from a later period. We were first allowed to listen to the organist practicing and then she explained the pictures to us.

    The images in the vault caps, which date back to the late Middle Ages and therefore seem enigmatic to us today, represent the various manifestations of sin and their effects. The plants each mark the organ of the person with which he sins - the place where the sin comes out of him, so to speak grows out. Martin Luther spoke of the fact that we sin “in thoughts, words and deeds”, i.e. with our head, with our mouth and with our hand or even with our fist. The eye can also sin

      The Evangelical Church of St. Johannis is a listed late Gothic church building in Luckenwalde. The Zinna monastery near Jüterbog, founded in 1170, was the mother church of all church buildings in the area, so it can be assumed that St. Johannis was also founded by the Cistercians. There are no documentary mentions. Originally, the building made of irregularly placed field stones was a simple hall church, the choir had moved in. Their field stone wall layers partially protrude beyond the middle of the window. In the second half of the 15th century the church was converted into a two-aisled hall church with groin vaults. Red brick in the monastery format served as building material.

      According to the rules of the order of the Cistercians, the sacred building did not have a church tower, so a small roof turret was added.
