Adventure #5: Wittenberg


 Since the early 16th century, the city of Wittenberg has been associated with the name Martin Luther and the onset of the Protestant Reformation. 

Here Luther is reputed to have posted his 95 theses on the door of the castle church on October 31, 1517.  This led to the protestant movement.  The picture shown on
the right is a picture of the castle church. This is the church the theses were posted.

The town is a beautiful little town where many people come to walk around and shop. The picture across the page from the castle church on the left is a statue of Martin Luther. The picture below Martin Luther is a picture of the inside of the church.
