The Protestant church in Frankfurt-Bornheim is a late baroque hall church was built in 1778/1779 by city architect Johann Andreas Liebhardt.

The church tower is a landmark of Bornheim. It has a distinctive stepped spire, which is covered by a Welschen hood, which makes up about 2/5 of the total height of the tower. Because of its onion dome, the St. John's Church is popularly known as Zwiwwelkersch. The tower rises in the west to a height of almost 50 meters above a square floor plan of 7.50 by 7.50 meters.

After the Katharinenkirche in the city center, the Johanniskirche is the largest and most important baroque sacred building in Frankfurt and at the same time the largest church in the former Frankfurt villages. It is considered to be the most important religious building of the 18th century in Frankfurt am Main. The Johanniskirche is a hall church. It thus corresponds to the late Gothic room concept of the previous building. The interior of the nave, including the polygonal choir, is 22.50 meters long and 15 meters wide. The church square is in front of the choir in the east. The mansard roof is unusually elegant for the architecture of a village. The height of the roof ridge is 20 meters. From the beginning, the nave and tower each had their own lightning rod. The foundation stone from 1778 is on the outside of the northeast corner opposite the rectory.

Around 750, a chapel dedicated to the holy martyrs Abdon and Sennen was built on the site of today's St. John's Church, which was repaired and expanded several times in the following centuries (e.g. documented in 1492, 1520, 1654, 1712). In 1753 the old and dilapidated predecessor of the Johanniskirche was replaced by a new church designed in the baroque style. The new church burned down to the masonry in 1776 due to a lightning strike. It was rebuilt in 1778 and reopened in 1779.

In 1873 the baroque Bornheim church was renovated for the first time. Simultaneously with the installation of the romantic Walcker organ, which was officially put into service in 1874, the north staircase to the gallery was installed. After another complete renovation in 1896, the Johanniskirche received its current name. In 1944 the church was badly damaged by bombs. It was reopened in 1948.
