St.-Johannis-Kirche

St.-Johannis-Kirche stands in Hanover’s Misburg-Nord district as an Evangelical Lutheran church built between 1902 and 1904. Karl Mohrmann shaped the building in North German Brick Gothic, using red brick, plastered blind arches, and a side-set tower. Three portals mark the west façade, while the spacious interior accommodates up to 700 people.

Inside, a pillar supports the vaults, with figures of Mohrmann and his assistant carved at its base. The original oak altar, baptismal font, and pulpit remain in place, while round choir windows show Gospel scenes designed by Ferdinand Horrmeyer after the Second World War. Renovations began in 1987, followed by a glass wall dividing the northern nave in 1992 and a rededication in 1994.

Structural damage discovered in 2008 led to three years of construction, including work on corroded foundation beams and the vulnerable stone floor above the basement vault. The renovated church reopened during Advent in 2017. Its bell history leaves a vivid detail: one bronze bell survived wartime melting, before two new bronze bells were cast in Gescher in 2016.
