All Saints' Church, Lutherstadt Wittenberg

All Saints' Church is a Gothic structure in Wittenberg featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and intricately carved stone details throughout. The building defines the city skyline with its height and distinctive window designs.

The church was founded in the mid-14th century under Rudolf I and gained worldwide recognition when Martin Luther posted his Theses there in 1517.

The church carries the legacy of Martin Luther and remains a living center of Protestant faith today. Visitors experience the ongoing tradition of Lutheran worship that has defined this place for centuries.

The building is open daily to visitors and offers guided tours in various languages. Accessibility for wheelchairs is limited due to the historic structure.

Inside rest the tombs of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon, the two founding figures of the Reformation. This makes the place a personal monument to their life's work.
