Thanks to Sylvia for the nice card.
The Luther memorials in Wittenberg were recognized as World Heritage Sites in December 1996, because they "represent a significant milestone in human history and are of outstanding universal significance as authentic sites of the Reformation." The Schlosskirche (Castle Church), Lutherhaus (Luther House), Stadtkirche (City Church) and Melanchthonhaus (Melanchthon House) are part of the heritage.
Wittenberg was the center of his reformation activities, and the castle church, in whose portal he posted his 95 Theses on October 31, 1517, later became his final resting place, as well as that of Phillip Melanchthon, one of his closest followers.
