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.
