All Saints' Church, Wittenberg
Schlosskirche Wittenberg
The door where Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses, the birthplace of the Reformation, where Luther and Melanchthon are buried.
The Castle Church in Wittenberg is a symbol of the Reformation. In 1517, Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on its door. The original wooden door was destroyed, and today's door is bronze with the Latin text of the theses engraved on it. Both Luther and Melanchthon are buried inside the church, and visitors can climb the tower for views over the Elbe. Together with Luther's House, it forms part of the World Heritage site 'Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg.' From Leipzig, the train to Wittenberg takes about 35 minutes, making it a classic day trip. Admission to the church is free, and climbing the tower costs about 5 euros.
