Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses to its door. “Our God is a strong castle” – it was these lines from the well-known psalm and hymn that Martin Luther hung resplendent in large letters on the steeple of this imposing house of God. Today, Luther’s grave and the last resting place of the reformer Philipp Melanchthon can be viewed in the church’s interior. The All Saints’ Castle Church is one of Wittenberg’s UNESCO World Heritage sites. The St. Mary´s Town and Parish Church is the oldest building in the city and is today one of Wittenberg’s UNESCO World Heritage sites. The reformer Martin Luther once preached in this church. His pulpit has been preserved and can be viewed at the Luther House where it is currently on loan. His companion, Johannes Bugenhagen, explained the Reformation here. Many testaments to the Reformation can be found in the St. Mary´s Town Church, such as the Reformation Altar, valuable panels by Cranach, the artistically decorated baptismal font by Hermann Vischer the Older, and the magnificent organ and sacristy. The Luther House was originally built in the Collegienstraße in Wittenberg as an Augustinian monastery in 1504, before it became Martin Luther’s residence in 1594 and was later used as the home of Luther´s family. Today it is the world’s largest museum dedicated to the history of the Reformation and is in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. During a visit to the Luther House, you should make sure to view the original Luther parlour, the university lectern in the large auditorium, an indulgences chest from the period and Martin Luther’s pulpit. 1,000 original exhibits tell the story of the life and work of Luther the reformer, but also of everyday life with his family and the rich history of his reception.

Luther’s Wedding Wittenberg Renaissance Music Festival From the 12th to 14th of June 2015, the Lutherstadt Wittenberg celebrates one of the most wonderful festivals in Germany at original Reformation sites. Tens of thousands of visitors celebrate “Luther’s Wedding”, with the Luther couple chosen every year. For three days in summer, the Lutherstadt’s Old Town is transformed into a medieval site. Back then – on the 13th of June 1525 – the former monk Martin Luther and the escaped nun Katharina von Bora said “yes” in the town on the Elbe. These days, locals and guests to the Lutherstadt Wittenberg celebrate this historic moment every year. Celebrate with them when the bridal couple and its 2,000 splendidly dressed wedding guests move through the lanes of the Lutherstadt Wittenberg Old Town. Look forward to colourful robes, live music, jugglers, As an ambassador for the LutherDecade, the Wittenberg Renaissance Music Festival invites guests to Wittenberg from the 26th of October to the 1st of November in the run-up to Reformation Day to experience the soundscape of the Renaissance together with the unique history of this town. The trademarks of the festival are – alongside an exciting concert program, which presents the diverse facets of Renaissance music – numerous workshops, an instrument exhibition and the popular Renaissance ball. All of this takes place at authentic venues, e.g. at original sites of the Reformation movement that are of historic significance for Protestant church history. +49 (0)3491 49 86 10 · www.lutherstadt-wittenberg.de O T H E R C U LT U R A L HI G H L I G H T S I N A N D A RO U N D T H E L U T H E RS TA D T W I T T E N B E R G 2 0 1 5 16. – 17.05.2015 May Flower Festival in the Lutherstadt Wittenberg 13.09.2015 ZDF Television Church Service in the Town Church 24.05.2015 Organ Night with Luther in the Town Church 13.09.2015 22nd Day of the Open Memorial 01.06.2015 UNESCO World Heritage Day 26. – 27.09.2015 Wittenberg Potters’ Market 12. – 14.06.2015 “Luther’s Wedding” with festival procession 02.10.2015 Night lights and lantern parade through the Old Town Juni – Juli 2015 Court Concerts in the Altstadthöfen 04.10.2015 Cranach´s Birthday 09.07. – 14.08.2015 Summer Cabaret Festival 25.10. – 01.11.2015 Wittenberg Renaissance Music Festival 30.07. – 03.08.2015 Wittenberg Wine Festival 31.10. – 01.11.2015 Reformation festival in the Old Town 07. – 09.08.2015 “LebensArt”, Exquisite and Beautiful Things for the House and Garden, Messe im Stadtpark (Ramparts) 25.11. – 20.12.2015 Wittenberg Christmas Market 15.08.2015 Wittenberg ErlebnisNacht with live music, exhibitions, theatre, magic and fireworks 20.12.2015 Martin Luther’s Christmas Concert at the St. Mary´s Town Church Wittenberg Potters’ Market To mark the end of the Wittenberg Cultural Summer 2015, on the 26th and 27th of September, the 23rd Wittenberg Potters’ Market takes place at the gorgeous historic Market Place.

Make sure to visit the following destinations: Wörlitz Ferropolis/Gräfenhainichen Wörlitz is situated only 30 minutes away from the Lutherstadt Wittenberg by car. In Wörlitz, a glorious landscaped garden awaits you. Constructed at the end of the 18th century, it is one of the earliest and most significant English-style landscape gardens on the European continent. The Garden Kingdom Dessau-Wörlitz was created by Prince Leopold III Friedrich Franz of Anhalt-Dessau (1740-1817). With his various reforms, his goal was the harmonious unity of human and nature. The palaces, gardens and avenues of the Garden Kingdom nestle so naturally into the meadowy countryside that the park seems to stretch on forever. Ferropolis ist situated about 30 kilometres from the Lutherstadt Wittenberg. The “City of Iron” near Gräfenhainichen is an industry museum and an event venue for festivals and sporting events. This 260,000 square metre area was once the site of brown coal mining. Today, the impressive machines and excavators on the site are reminiscent of the days of surface mining.

Torgau – once the residence of the Saxon princes, is located only 50 km along the Elbe from Wittenberg. The almost completely preserved historic town centre with Hartenfels Palace, churches, the Town Hall and resplendent Renaissance town houses still exudes the spirit of the former metropolis of the Electorate of Saxony. Torgau is considered the “Nursemaid of the Reformation.” Martin Luther stayed in Torgau more than 40 times and a strong middle class here supported his ideas. His wife, Katharina, died in 1552 in Torgau. Her grave in the St. Mary´s Town Church and a memorial are testament to the work of this courageous woman. Berlin ® Dresden ICE UNesco ® RAD Our recommendation: Discover the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz during a tour that points out the special features of the park! Afterwards you can enjoy the beauty of the park again from water during a gondola trip (May-August).

After the winter break, the Alaris Butterfly Park in the Lutherstadt Wittenberg opens its doors from the 1st of April. Everyday between 9:30 am and 5:30 pm until the end of October, you can take a mini-break in the tropics. Discover one of Europe’s largest theatres in a unique cultural landscape between World Heritage sites, Luther, Bauhaus and the Garden Kingdom! The Anhalt Theatre in Dessau is steeped in tradition and is currently in the midst of its 220th season. In the four categories of acting, musical theatre, ballet and puppet theatre, it presents the performing arts at the highest level. The Anhalt Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of General Musical Director Antony Hermus, is at home here and offers grand symphony and chamber music concerts. In summer it presents, amongst other things, the popular lake concerts in the Garden Kingdom of Wörlitz. The swimming pool in the Lutherstadt Wittenberg was reopened in 2011 after comprehensive renovations. A 25-metre long pool, a children’s water playground and a learners’ pool make this swimming pool a feel-good oasis for young and old. In the sauna area you will find a steam sauna with a starry sky, a Finnish sauna and a bio-sauna with light and sound effects as well as an open-air infusion sauna with a heated outdoor swimming area. In Ferropolis, your childlike instincts will come to life. Young and old can get active in this town of iron located about 30 kilometres away from the Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Equipment that can be tried out and a climbing frame made of steel and rubber invite visitors to play and climb.
