Lutherstadt Wittenberg

A domain of Martin Luther

Wittenberg became world famous when the young monk Martin Luther did something outrageous and turned the religious world of 1517 upside down.

He rebelled against the almighty Catholic church when he put up his 95 theses at the door of the All Saints', the Castle Church.

You will not only visit this historic place but also the former home of his friend and supporter Melanchton as well as the homesteads of the famous Cranach family.
