Carler Tech

LUTHERSTADT WITTENBERG - Lutherhaus

 Thanks to thuegirl

Lutherstadt Wittenberg is a historic town on the River Elbe in Saxony‑Anhalt, Germany, best known as the birthplace of the Protestant Reformation. Its preserved medieval center contains several buildings directly linked to Martin Luther and his circle, which together form the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg.” These include the Castle Church where Luther posted his 95 Theses in 1517, the Town Church where he preached, the Lutherhaus where he lived and worked, and the Melanchthonhaus, home of his collaborator Philipp Melanchthon. The city played a central role in shaping European religious and political history, and today it remains a major cultural destination with museums, monuments, and well‑preserved Renaissance architecture

Schones WEIMAR

Thanks to Sylvia for the nice card sent March 2021.
     A residential city in the center of Europe where ideas and works of art were born that have spread throughout the world. Today the famous names of the past still resound: Goethe and Schiller. Bach and Liszt. Modernity and the Bauhaus. Wide open spaces, open squares and narrow streets, the houses of Goethe and Schiller, museums and castles - the history of European culture concentrated in a very small area and honored by UNESCO with a World Heritage Site.

    However, Weimar remains true to its identity today. Vibrant, dynamic and internationally oriented - visitors discover art and culture, music and history, light music and young creativity with enthusiasm. Alongside all the splendors of the city of culture, places of remembrance remind us of the dark times in Weimar's history. The Ettersberg memorial is dedicated to presenting the atrocities of the Buchenwald concentration camp and the depths of social exclusion and violence.

Lutherstadt Wittenberg

 

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.
