Wittenberg

Nearly 500 years ago, world history was made in a small town in central Germany: Martin Luther's posting of his theses in 1517 marked the beginning of the Reformation era in Wittenberg. In the following decades, the town on the Elbe became the center of Protestantism, humanistic education, printing, and art. The names of Philipp Melanchthon, Lucas Cranach, and Johann Faust are still world-renowned today. Many other personalities are connected to the city, and the wonderful architectural monuments tell their own stories— all of this can be explored on a tour through the lovingly restored city center, which has UNESCO World Heritage status. The city tour takes you to the most important sights in the center of Wittenberg. On foot and in one day—of course with necessary breaks to enjoy Wittenberg's hospitality—you can experience the nearly 850-year history of the city in an entertaining and informative way.
