Sankt Johannes Deutz is a Protestant church in Cologne-Deutz, serving the Evangelical congregation of Köln-Deutz/Poll. Its octagonal tower marks the streetscape along Tempelstraße. Robert Ferdinand Cremer designed the building, which combines classicist forms with neo-Romanesque architecture. Eduard Kramer shaped its distinctive architectural language. The western section has three parts, with a prominent portal rising towards the tower. Severe war damage left the church burned out. Reconstruction proceeded in stages, including a curved organ gallery and restoration of the tower. The church contains four bells cast by Rincker. Its main organ has twenty-seven stops, two manuals, and a pedalboard with mechanical action. A smaller positive organ also stands inside. The instruments and bells support worship, community gatherings, and music within the congregation. The portal and octagonal tower define the exterior. The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland and the church district of Köln-Mitte. Sankt Johannes Deutz remains a recognizable local landmark.
