Sankt Johann-Baptist (St. John the Baptist's Church), Aachen

Saint Johann Church is situated in the southern district of Aachen, near Saint Michael Church. It is a Catholic Church and former abbey church. Founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the church was expanded by architect Hermann Joseph Hurth in 1881 because of the growing baptistery. The church was damaged during the Second World War. The 1942 bomb attack destroyed all windows. When the war ended, the church was reconstructed. In 1951, bishop Dr. Friedrich Hünermann consecrated the new altar. This religious site is remarkable for its almost 300-year long history and the treasury department, which displays numerous religious relics and objects.
