So we went to Luther’s University town of Wittenberg. We deiced to take the train from Berlin in the morning and then come back that day as of that morning, since it was the easiest. We walked by the Luther tree, then onto Luthers house, where it had a really cool museum. It not only had the pulpit that he gave sermons to but also many of his documents, all in German. It was neat to see so many, all the covers where so different with designs and some with people and others words with designs around the text in the middle. Along with a couple that where color.
It also had many paintings of him and Katie that I have seen in books and such, so it was cool to see the real ones.
Next we went walking down the town to the Castle church where Luther really changed the world as we know it today with his 95 thesis. The door was burnt in a fire but now they have a door with the thesis on the door that is made of metal. WE also went side the church where Luther is buried.
After that we went back to Berlin since it was super rainy and we where wet and cold after walking around.
For me it was really cool to see all the Luther things since I took Luther and Lutheranism at Luther, and grew up Lutheran. A lot of Luther has filled my life so it was finally seen part of his. His birth and death house are in other town, which I will have to see on my next trip to Germany. Wittenberg is a really nice town, and I’m sure is a lot of fun in the summer, we just got a horrible day. The museum was really good, in his old house with so much stuff to see and along with great text of it. It would have been nice to know aka remember some German since some of it is only in German and to read some of Luther things but overall it was a great Luther day!
