The market in Wittenberg with town hall and town church

The Castle Church is located in the west of the old town of Wittenberg at the end of the Castle Street coming from the market. It is structurally connected to Wittenberg Castle and forms the northern side wing of the castle's three-wing complex, which is open to the east. Access to the church is via its north side. The church is not strictly oriented towards the east. Its longitudinal axis deviates from the east direction by about 14 degrees to the south.

Very beautiful, historic square lined with magnificent buildings. There is a lot to discover, it is advisable to linger here for a while.

After him, the city of Wittenberg received the addition "Lutherstadt", center of the Reformation with the 95 theses

Martin Luther (* November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, County Mansfeld; † February 18, 1546 ibid) was a German Augustinian monk and professor of theology, who became the originator of the Reformation. He saw God's promise of grace and justification through Jesus Christ as the sole basis of the Christian faith. On this basis, he wanted to eliminate what was wrong with the Roman Catholic Church at the time and to restore ("re-form") it to its original evangelical form. Contrary to Luther's intentions, during the course of the Reformation there was a schism in the church, from which emerged Evangelical Lutheran churches and other denominations of Protestantism (Wikipedia).

Very well preserved windmill. We were lucky. The mill was open and we got a good look inside.

Vis-a-vis with the historic mill, there is a discarded ferry next to the bike path. Quite huge and astonishingly little depth from this unfamiliar land perspective.

The name of the city of Wittenberg is and will remain - presumably inextricably linked - with the name of Martin Luther, to whom this monument in the city center is dedicated in a prominent place - the market square. The cabaret artist Konrad Beikircher, born and raised in South Tyrol, but has been based in the Rhineland for several decades, said in 2017 on the occasion of the Reformation anniversary in his cabaret program "500 years of false belief" about the date of the posting of the theses: If Martin Luther had been a Rhinelander, he would never (!) Have posted his famous 95 theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg on October 31st. Because, October 31st is the quietest time of the year for every Rhinelander: Waiting for the eleventh in the eleventh.
