The Staufer Johanneskirche is dedicated to Johannes the Baptist and is an important building of the Swabian late Romanesque period.
164 steps of the spiral staircase each bear the name of the donor and lead to the tower room at a height of 30m.

The Johanniskirche or St. John's Church (officially the side church of St. John the Baptist of the Catholic parish church of Heilig-Kreuz-Münster) is a Romanesque or neo-Romanesque style Catholic town church in Schwäbisch Gmünd, dedicated to John the Baptist. The pillar basilica as a lapidarium for the Gmünd Minster.

The Johanniskirche, which with its outstanding bell tower stands directly at the transition from Johannisplatz and Marktplatz, is a popular photo motif and landmark of the town of Schwäbisch Gmünd. It is part of some logos, such as for the city anniversary in 2012.

From June 24, 2005 to 2016, the Johanniskirche also served as a church for the Gmünder Jugendkirche.

You should visit St. John's Church, especially because of the wall paintings.
