Other sights in Lutherstadt Wittenberg

  1. Town Church of St Mary

    If the Schlosskirche was the billboard used to advertise the forthcoming Reformation, the twin-towered Town Church of St Mary was where the ecumenical revolution began, with the world's first Protestant worship services in 1521. It was also here that Luther preached his famous Lectern sermons in 1522, and where he married ex-nun Katharina von Bora three years later.

  2. Exhibit

    Lucas Cranach's old residential and work digs have been rebooted as a beautifully restored cultural complex built around two courtyards that often echo with music and readings. There's a permanent exhibit on the man, his life and his contemporaries.
