The St. Johannis Church has been the main church of the parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg in Neubrandenburg since 1945. It was built in the 14th century as a monastery church of the Franciscan monastery in Neubrandenburg.

The St. John's Church has been the main church of the Protestant community in Neubrandenburg since 1945. It was originally the monastery church of the Franciscans.

A stone church was built around 1260 together with the Franciscan monastery. Two fires before 1355 severely damaged it. The construction of today's two-aisled church building began in the 14th century. Around 1455, a high Gothic long choir with three vaulted bays and a polygonal finish was added. In the north wall there are still parts of the previous building, which was built with worked field stones. The northern aisle is significantly narrower than the nave. Both have ribbed vaults with plant motifs in the spandrels.

In the course of the Reformation in Mecklenburg, the monastery church was used as a Protestant church from 1535. The city of Neubrandenburg received church patronage in 1567. A city fire in 1614 caused severe damage to the eastern part. Because no money was available for the reconstruction, the eastern part was separated by a wall and used as a municipal granary from 1803. Since the 18th century, the magistrate has been trying to establish and upgrade the Johanniskirche as a council church. The craft offices (guilds) were asked to move their representative guild candlesticks from St. Marien to St. Johannis, which they did. In 1863 the city wall north of the monastery was breached in order to extend today's Stargarder Straße in the direction of the train station. Part of the long choir had to be demolished for this. After the partition wall to the granary collapsed on July 30, 1887, restoration took place from 1891 to 1894, during which the eastern part was shortened again. A massive ridge turret on the east gable of the nave was removed, and a wooden turret was erected in the middle of the roof.
