The church was built from 1864 to 1876 according to the plans of Oberbaurat Christian Friedrich von Leins in neo-gothic style. It is considered one of the main works of this style and was the first church consecration in Stuttgart after more than 400 years. After being destroyed during the Second World War, the church received new windows from Rudolf Yelin d. J. (1969) and A. Saile (1977-1980). The spire was not rebuilt.

The Protestant Johanneskirche was built from 1864 to 1876 in the neo-Gothic style by senior building officer Christian Friedrich von Leins. It is particularly striking due to its prominent urban location. It is located with the choir on a peninsula in the Feuersee (extinguishing water pond). The church was built by Christian Friedrich von Leins on the water, so that he first had to push 660 piles into the lake. The single tower facade of the Johanneskirche marks the beginning of the former splendid avenue Johannesstraße.

After the war was destroyed, the outside of the church was rebuilt except for the spire, as there was not enough money. The destroyed Gothic vaults were replaced by modern ones. The church tower was 66 meters high before it was destroyed in World War II; today it is around 45 meters high. The "church without a tip" is now a memorial against war.

The church is now almost completely restored on the outside and shines in new splendor.
