The parish church of St. Johann in Freiburg (1895-1899) was built during the expansion phase of the Breisgau town in the late 19th century. The villages of Wiehre and Adelhausen in the south of the city were heavily involved in the development of the city. The new residential quarters set significant urban development accents, which were determined by the architecture of the Wilhelminian era with its inclination towards large formats, the use of materials, pathos and representation.
The distinctive place of the church in the extended city area pushed for a representative building, the red Main sandstone was chosen as building material, for the roofing blue-gray slate. In its style and with these materials, the stand-alone church - originally surrounded by park-like grounds - stood out from its surroundings.

The Johanneskirche is a catholic church in Freiburg im Breisgau. It was inaugurated in 1899 and is located in the Wiehre district. Other representative historic buildings were erected around the church: the parish rectory on the west side, the trade school next to it and the Lessing school on the north side. At the same time as the completion of the Johanneskirche, the evangelical Christians also received a new church in the vicinity, the Christuskirche.
