Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg - UNESCO World Heritage Site

The UNESCO World Heritage site commemorates Martin Luther, one of the most influential figures in the world's religious history. A German monk from the town of Wittenberg, his disagreement with the Pope in 1517 eventually lead to the Reformation, the founding of Lutheranism (or Protestantism), and triggered a decades-long religious war that consumed much of Europe. This visit encompasses Luther's home town of Wittenberg, where he first nailed his disagreements to the church doors, and where the first Protestant services were held. It was a fascinating visit, and very interesting to see one of the world's most important religious sites.
