Johannes Janda learned to carve holy figures from his father, a carpenter. From 1845 he attended the Breslau art school. On the recommendation of Baron von Stücker, he was accepted into the Berlin workshop of the important sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch in 1849 . In 1864 Janda set up his own studio in Berlin.
