Wittenburg

Its been a while since I've updated, but I have not been in a place with good internet to do so. We were recently this past week in Luherstadt Wittenburg. Our youth hostel was right next to the church on which Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses. The door is now cast in bronze with the 95 theses etched in the doors.This is the church in which Luther is buried. We went to Luher's house while we were there. Seeing his living room in its original state from when Luther and Catherine first decorated it as well as seeing Luther's brewery made Luther seem more realistic then a glorified reformer. The museum in his house had hundreds of Luther's writings and sermons as well as some of his monk robes and pastoral robes. His burial mask was also on display which was a litle weird to look at knowing that this was Luther's face at his time of death. The town of Wittenburg is really small, you could walk from on end to the other in 20 minutes. It was really nice to stay in a smaller town because you get to see the real culture of German people and not just the tourist or city culture. Almost none of the people spoke English there,so I was able to practice and learn more German. Overall, i really loved Wittenburg.
