Luther House, Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Wittenberg is home to the largest museum of the history of the Reformation - the Lutherhaus. Here, the reformer lived first as a monk and later as a husband and father, wrote his writings and taught students. The exhibition in the Lutherhaus tells of the life and work of the Reformer, but also of his family life and the rich impact story. Particularly worth seeing are the pulpit of Luther from the city church, the Ten Commandments panel by Lucas Cranach and a monk's cowl Luther.
The centerpiece of the tour through the house is the Lutherstube, which has largely been preserved in its original state. A must for Wittenberg visitors is the door of the castle church, to which Luther struck his 95 theses in 1517.

Leucorea University, Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

The University "Leucorea" was founded in 1502 by Elector Friedrich III. founded. The name comes from the Greek term "leukos oros" = in German "white mountain", based on the city name "Wittenberg".
From 1512 to 1518 Martin Luther taught as a professor of Bible interpretation at the university.
Napoleon had the university closed on December 5, 1814. In 1815 the university then moved to Halle.
In 1842/1843, the former university was converted into barracks and was repeatedly remodeled in the decades that followed (also as living space).
The LEUCOREA Foundation was established in 1994 with the aim of bringing academic life back to Wittenberg.

Old Town of Lutherstadt Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Wittenberg is worth a trip not only in the anniversary year of the Reformation. The city is quickly explored because it is not particularly large, but every few meters you come across interesting stories.

Wittenberg Wallanlagen Circular Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Wittenberg ramparts surround the historic old town like a green belt.
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the old town for a few moments, you can rest on the ramparts. In spring, the cherry blossoms on the city moat, for example, are beautiful to look at, and in autumn you shouldn't miss the colorful leaves.
In the southeast of the city is the Bunkerberg, which offers a beautiful view of the city and the surrounding area. Since 2017, you can walk on mirrored walkways to get new perspectives on the landscape. Small parks and waterways run through the ramparts and invite you to take a deep breath.

Marthin Luther posted his 95 theses on this door of the castle church. Unfortunately, the original door is burned and only a fake church door can be seen today.

Wittenberg Market Square and the Town Church

St. Mary’s Town Church, Wittenberg

Highlight • Religious Site

At the south-east corner of the town church in Wittenberg there has been a mockery and mockery of the Jewish religion since around 1290. Abusive sculptures of this kind, which show Jews in connection with pigs - animals that are considered unclean in Judaism - were particularly common in the Middle Ages. ...The memorial below the abusive sculpture was unveiled in November 1988, fifty years after the beginning of the pogroms against Jews in Nazi-ruled Germany. The base plate, cast in bronze, shows four tread plates tilted against each other, which look as if they were laid in muddy ground. The joints form a sign of the cross. The surrounding text connects the inscription of the abusive sculpture with the Holocaust: "God's real name / the reviled Shem Ha Mphoras / whom the Jews before the Christians / held almost unspeakably holy / died in six million Jews / under a sign of the cross."

I think this is a very successful way of dealing with changed perspectives. No iconoclasm but visible distancing based on today's experiences.
