The baroque jewel that was built as a fortified church in the 15th century is located near the Hermitage Palace Park. Late Gothic wall and ceiling paintings from 1430 can be seen behind the alter. The symbols of three of the four evangelists can be seen in the four fields of the vault: the angel (Matthew), the lion (Mark) and the bull (Luke). They appear as winged boats of the sky on a background of stars. Like the wise and foolish virgins on the triumphal arch, they are left over from the rich painting.

Sankt Johannis is probably older than the city of Bayreuth. In 1441 a castle stable can be found in the area of the corridor, which was rebuilt around 1451. In 1557 Georg Imhof zu Sankt Johannis received the residence of Trebgast on the farm as a margravial fiefdom, in 1576 he called himself "Georg Imhoff zu Altentrebgast auf dem Hoff, now called Sanct Johannis". The parish village got its current name after the church was built in the middle of the 16th century.
The place consisted mainly of a manor and a few other small farms. With a strong commercial focus, it was a workers' village with mostly small houses without barns or stables. From 1846, many linen weavers commuted to the flax factory in nearby Friedrichsthal.
Small workers' houses were built along Sonntagstraße around 1900. In the immediate vicinity of the Eremitagepark, rental apartments were built in 1922, 1938–39 and 1965. In the 1970s, new residential areas were developed with the Ochsenhut and in the Gstöckig parcel above the river edge of the Red Main.
On April 1, 1939, the village of Sankt Johannis was incorporated into Bayreuth, 1048 residents became Bayreuth citizens. The then Mayor of Bayreuth Friedrich Kempfler wanted to upgrade the National Socialist Gau capital, which increased by 1000 hectares. As a thank you, the people of Neu-Bayreuth, who were mostly only part-time farmers, received a breeding bull as a gift.

The parish church of St. John is located near the palace park "Hermitage" of Margravine Wilhelmine. Her husband Friedrich had it redesigned as a margrave church. The origins of the church go back very far and make it one of the oldest churches in the Bayreuth area. stjohannis-bayreuth.de
