Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Protestant Reformation city in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

The Castle Church of Wittenberg stands tall with its 88-meter spire, containing the tombs of Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon beneath bronze memorial plaques.

The University of Wittenberg, established in 1502 under Frederick III's leadership, transformed the city into a center of education and reformation movements.

The Lutherhaus museum, located in a former Augustine monastery, displays original manuscripts, paintings, and personal items from Martin Luther's life and work.

Regular train connections from Berlin and Leipzig make Wittenberg accessible, with the main historical buildings concentrated within walking distance of the central station.

The Market Square features a statue of Martin Luther near the Town Hall, where the surrounding buildings retain their 16th-century architectural elements.
