Wittenberg lies between Leipzig and Berlin on the Elbe and has about 55,000 inhabitants. Wittenberg is, of course, famous as Luther town and intellectual center of the Reformation. But also Melanchton and Cranach d.Ä. attended the university here.
In order to explore the city, there is a circular route that takes you past the most important stations of the Reformation, or the opportunity to rent in the good old "Ossi" way a Trabi in order to also get to know even more remote highlights.
Cruise offers to the port Wittenberg / Germany
We will stay in the city first. Here, of course, the Luther House is an absolute must, in which Luther spent almost 40 years of his life. And also the the house of Luther's friend Melanchton, not far away, shows old furniture and documents.
A small trip through the old town should not be missing. Around the market you can see the town hall, the town church and the castle, all unique buildings. And if you are still in the mood for a tour by Trabi, you can head to the mudbath Bad Schmiedeberg, which also has a beautiful old town with Renaissance influences.
