Johanneskirche

The Protestant Johanneskirche is a listed church building in the Nußberg district of the city of Iserlohn in the Märkisches Kreis .

On September 26, 1959, the foundation stone for the construction of the church was laid. The consecration took place on November 6, 1960. The entry in the list of architectural monuments of the city of Iserlohn was made in 2017 under number 246.

The Johanneskirche was built according to plans by the Iserlohn architect Ernst Dossmann . The main building is a reinforced concrete construction with infill with perforated brick masonry . The building has a cross-shaped plan. The gable ends are windowless. The walls of the nave and the eastern sides of the transept are provided with longitudinal struts in the upper area using concrete glass technology . The western side walls of the transept are built entirely using concrete glass technology, each with three longitudinal struts and one cross strut. The building's gable roof is raised towards the center of the nave and transept.

Under the large church there is a basement with several parish rooms. A staircase on the west gable leads to the church and an arcade that leads to the bell tower. The separate bell tower was built as a slender campanile with a rhombic pyramid roof in a concrete frame construction. It is 40 meters high and houses three bronze bells that were cast in the bell building workshop Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock .

A sgraffito by Edith Prutz-Gueth (born June 15, 1928 in Unna; † March 8, 2008) made of Schwerte with symbolic references to John the Baptist and John the Evangelist is located above the arcade on the west gable. On the cross-shaped gable roof of the church building was above the nave a photovoltaic system installed.

The church interior, which can accommodate 450 people, is kept simple. The choir room was made very large. It can accommodate a whole orchestra. To give the church interior warmth, the benches, the altar, the baptismal font and the pulpit were made of redwood ( sequoia ). The inner covering of the gable roof construction was also made of wood and gives the room good acoustics.

The organ built in the corner on the right aisle from the Ottingen organ building workshop protrudes just into the choir. It has 18 registers and 1,250 pipes. The smallest organ pipe measures 10 millimeters, the largest 2.70 meters.
