| Page Views: 140 Last Visit to Lutherstadt Wittenberg: April, 2008 | Martin Luther, but also a lot more by christine.j - last update: Sep 2, 2008 |
As anyone can see from the name of this town, it is almost completely dedicated to their most famous citizen, Martin Luther. It was here in Wittenberg where he was working as a priest and it was here where nailed his 95 thesis on the church door, starting the reformation.
Martin Luther had started the Reformation process, but it was the coincidence of meeting another scholar, Philip Melanchthon and the help of the Duke Frederic the Wise which made it possible. Had it only been Martin Luther, we'd probably wouldn't even remember his name. |
|  | Anyone who is interested in the history of the Christian church and the denominations will sooner or later visit this town. For all other visitors, it's a nice,old town. |
| | As you can see from many plates on houses throughout Wittenberg many famous people have visited here. Have a look up on the buildings. |

Very informative Lutherstadt Wittenberg travel page complete with superb photographs. The castle church, market square and Lutherhaus certainly sound attractive to us. Thanks for the virtual tour. ~ho & pang | Mikebb Wed Mar 18, 2009 14:28 UTC
Nice page. Germany is a country we have visited 3 times, the longest 2 days in Munich, and Sept'08 a day trip to Aachen. Hopefully we will have a week soon. | scottishvisitor Sun Sep 14, 2008 18:35 UTC
