Luther House, Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Wittenberg is home to the largest museum of the history of the Reformation - the Lutherhaus. Here, the reformer lived first as a monk and later as a husband and father, wrote his writings and taught students. The exhibition in the Lutherhaus tells of the life and work of the Reformer, but also of his family life and the rich impact story. Particularly worth seeing are the pulpit of Luther from the city church, the Ten Commandments panel by Lucas Cranach and a monk's cowl Luther.
The centerpiece of the tour through the house is the Lutherstube, which has largely been preserved in its original state. A must for Wittenberg visitors is the door of the castle church, to which Luther struck his 95 theses in 1517.

Beautiful view of the Elbe

A beautiful view of the Elbe from the dam - various species of birds can be discovered.

The Elbe is a Central European river that rises in the Czech Republic, flows through Germany and flows into the North Sea. Among other things, it drains a large part of eastern Germany and almost all of Bohemia, which is surrounded by low mountain ranges (Wikipedia).
