After destruction in the Second World War, only parts of the central and side aisles remain from the original church building of St. John the Baptist, which is one of the oldest in Cologne. The church tower from 1960/62 made headlines in 2004 as the "leaning tower of Cologne".
St. John the Baptist in Cologne was first mentioned in 948 and is documented as a parish church from 1080. Today the parish belongs to the Catholic parish of St. Severin. The preservation of the church of St. John the Baptist is supported by the "Romanesque Churches of Cologne" association (romanische-kirchen-koeln.de).
