About this activity
(A memorable destination - never shown before in a daily tour program in Germany!!!)
Join us to visit one of the most famous Luther sites:
The Wartburg Castle (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
There, during his time as a refugee, Martin Luther translated the New Testament of the Bible into German.
Follow us on a visit through this historic site where the exceptional importance of Luther’s legacy comes once again alive. Recall the most important stages of his life. “Here I stand I can do no other”.
On 31st of October 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the church door in Wittenberg. The date is considered as the beginning of the Reformation 500 years ago. What had initially been intended as a critical dispute against the selling of indulgences by the Roman papacy should develop to a movement which totally changed the society and had an incredible influence on the progress of human Knowledge and recognition, on language, education and culture, and finally on politics and economy.

Reviews
This tour was definitely worth seeing. There is an English tour guide employed by the Castle that was terrific. This castle was the home of St. Elizabeth and housed Martin Luther while he was in hiding. After visiting this castle we stopped in Eisenach, which was the town where Bach and Martin Luther had homes. In order to tour their homes it is an additional fee. Our tour guide who drove us to the Castle had never been there before and did not have any knowledge of the Castle or the town. He had to stop several times to check his gps. He provided no knowledge about Germany during our drive to and from the Castle. He was not a guide at all but simply a driver. This trip is overpriced by the tour company. I recommend that you visit this castle and town but do so by train.
