The Protestant St. John's Church was built in 1955 by the Stuttgart architect Prof. H. Seytter. With 900 seats, it is the largest church building erected in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Württemberg after World War II. In 2015, due to declining membership, an architectural competition was held for the mixed-use development of the building. Nike Fiedler won first prize with a "house-within-a-house" concept that incorporated the community center into the rear of the church, while preserving the sanctuary at the chancel. Following the demolition of the community center attached to the church between 2017 and 2020, the church interior was gutted, and the new community center was installed within the nave. In 2017, the church interior was gutted, and the new community center was constructed within the nave. The stained-glass windows in the chancel (depicting the Second Coming, scenes from the Book of Revelation and the Gospel of John) and above the gallery (depicting scenes from the Song of Songs) were preserved. These were created by W.-Dieter Kohler, and the large oak crucifix behind the altar was sculpted by Ulrich Henn. The altar carpet was hand-knotted by women from the congregation, based on a design by the Stuttgart Parament Workshop. The altar cross came from the demolished Beate Paulus Parish Hall.
