St. Johann Baptist Church, Neu-Ulm

This sacred building is located near the town hall of Neu-Ulm. It was designed by the church builder Dominik Böhm in the 1920s. After the severe destruction in World War II, the church was given its present form - again by Böhm - from the remains of the federal fortress.

Saint John the Baptist (also Johannes Baptist), to whom this church in Neu-Ulm is consecrated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth, after the proclamation of the Incarnation through her, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, namely John the Baptist. He is six months older than Jesus and is considered to be his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, there Jesus also comes to be baptized, and he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who comes down on him from heaven.
The feast day of John the Baptist (Baptist) in the saints calendar is on June 24th, exactly six months before 'Christmas Eve'.

The architecture of this church is simply worth seeing and not common. It is in Neu-Ulm in Bavaria, you can reach it quickly from Ulm over a bridge. At the same time you crossed a national border.
