The building history of the church is unique: the stump of the tower of the church that was bombed in 1945 is integrated into the structure of the new church. Quarry stones and new material grain and structure the nave. Old and new combine. Both the horrors of war and tyranny and the will to start over are visible in her.

St. John's Church is the first church that the Evangelicals built in Würzburg in 1895. This church was almost completely destroyed in the air raid on the city on March 16, 1945. Today only the stump of the old tower with the entrance portal remains. The present church was built by the Munich architect Reinhard Riemerschmid and consecrated in 1957. As a memorial, it reminds us of the horrors of war and calls us to take responsibility for peace.
