Martin Luther's main place of work was Wittenberg, a today well restored little town approx. 70 miles southwest of Berlin. From here spread out his new ideas of faith focusing on the lecture of the bible, opposing the priest's role as the intermediator between human beings and God, and rejecting the selling of indulgences. Scriptura, fide, gratia was the new motto. With the help of the new communication technology, printing, and influential supporters like the elector of Saxony, John Frederic the Wise, the philosopher Philipp Melanchthon and the painter Lukas Cranach his ideas developed to one of the most important denominations of Christianity. Luther's wife Katharina von Bora plays an important role as the manager of the family's household and hostel for students and short-term guests. Luther's table talks showing his sense of humor and love for beer are famous. Attention: His house is closed due to renovation until Spring 2025. We'll explore the many legends and the real Luther.
- After a 1, 5 - 2 hours drive from Berlin we will be in the historical city center of Wittenberg. - We'll visit the Palace Church, where Luther is buried, and we'll see the bronze door with his 95 theses. - Passing the Market square with the Luther Monument we reach the St. Marien Church with the famous altarpiece by Lukas Cranach. - We can also have a look at the house of this famous entrepreneur- painter. - We can visit the former Universtiy building Augsuteum with an exhbition about Luther's life. - Attention: Luther's private home is closed until Spring 2025 - An outstanding visual experience is the 360-degree Panorama of Wittenberg painted by Yadegar Asisi. You can dip into Luther's neighborhood meeting the reformer himself, his wife, friends, and ordinary people of the town in the early 16th century. - Return to Berlin I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour
