We have been passing the station Lutherstadt Wittenberg on our commute for ages. So one day, we just got off there. And that was a good idea! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In 1938 the town Wittenberg got formally named Lutherstadt Wittenberg. The town is next to the Elbe, a good 70 kilometres from Leipzig, in Saxony-Anhalt. The town looks back on a long and eventful past and used to be a hub of political, cultural and artistic developments in the 16th century. It was here that people like Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon and Lucas Cranach the Older lived and worked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
