    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.

        In addition to the castle church, the literally towering structure of Wittenberg. We recommend going around the church, as many details can first be seen and a good impression of the narrow medieval buildings is created. The neighboring buildings are also worth seeing.
