Leucorea University, Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

The University "Leucorea" was founded in 1502 by Elector Friedrich III. founded. The name comes from the Greek term "leukos oros" = in German "white mountain", based on the city name "Wittenberg".
From 1512 to 1518 Martin Luther taught as a professor of Bible interpretation at the university.
Napoleon had the university closed on December 5, 1814. In 1815 the university then moved to Halle.
In 1842/1843, the former university was converted into barracks and was repeatedly remodeled in the decades that followed (also as living space).
The LEUCOREA Foundation was established in 1994 with the aim of bringing academic life back to Wittenberg.

Martin Luther Monument (Lutherdenkmal), Wittenberg

Highlight • Monument

In 1805 the "Patriotic Literary Society of the County of Mansfeld" initially intended to erect a memorial to the reformer Martin Luther in Mansfeld. Friedrich Wilhelm III also wanted a dedication to be set up in Wittenberg after the wars of liberation. The foundation stone was finally laid in 1817 and the monument was ceremoniously unveiled on October 31, 1821. The figure was designed by Johann Gottfried Schadow (1805), the base by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and the canopy by the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm IV.

Old Town Hall, Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall of Lutherstadt Wittenberg is located in the center of the old town on the market square. It was the seat of the Wittenberg city administration from the 16th century to the year 2000.

With the flourishing of the city of Wittenberg at the time of the Reformation, its population also increased. Therefore, the old original town hall was no longer sufficient for the requirements now given, so that starting from 1521 under the direction of Bastian Kruger with the preparations and from 1523 with the gradual construction of the town hall began. The construction was completed in 1541.

The clearly structured facade of the town hall has the characteristics of three stylistic epochs. While above all the curtain-arched windows of the first two storeys are still influenced by late Gothic, the gables and cornice strips indicate the actual period of origin, the Renaissance. In 1573, deficiencies in the building necessitated a reconstruction. The current entrance portal with its lush decor and the bell tower with the sinner's bell were added.

St. Mary’s Town Church, Wittenberg

Highlight • Religious Site

At the south-east corner of the town church in Wittenberg there has been a mockery and mockery of the Jewish religion since around 1290. Abusive sculptures of this kind, which show Jews in connection with pigs - animals that are considered unclean in Judaism - were particularly common in the Middle Ages. ...The memorial below the abusive sculpture was unveiled in November 1988, fifty years after the beginning of the pogroms against Jews in Nazi-ruled Germany. The base plate, cast in bronze, shows four tread plates tilted against each other, which look as if they were laid in muddy ground. The joints form a sign of the cross. The surrounding text connects the inscription of the abusive sculpture with the Holocaust: "God's real name / the reviled Shem Ha Mphoras / whom the Jews before the Christians / held almost unspeakably holy / died in six million Jews / under a sign of the cross."

I think this is a very successful way of dealing with changed perspectives. No iconoclasm but visible distancing based on today's experiences.

Due to the weather, we chose the safe option and headed for Wittenberge. Today we treated ourselves to a city tour. This allowed us to see a bit more than if we had just been on foot.
Adult €14; child €5. It's hard to understand, but it's OK.
The trip was actually quite interesting. Unfortunately, the rain started to come …

Today we went through Wittenberg in beautiful and icy weather. The visit to the panorama of Asisi was definitely worth it. Unfortunately, many of the sights are closed at the beginning of the year, which is why I still had time for another highlight: going to the Elbe bridge in the sunshine and icy wind to enjoy the unique water …

Today we continued the tour of Lutherstadt Wittenberg. First we climbed the tower of the castle church before the storm got more violent again. Up there we were blown through properly. For this we were compensated for a magnificent view.
In the further course we traveled to the Middle Ages around 1517 in the panorama picture by Yadegar Asisi.

Today it worked, we went to Lutherstadt Wittenberg.😁
The city impresses with its history (who doesn't know Luther), wonderful architecture (from churches to Hundertwasser high school) and also a very beautiful old town.
There is so much to see and explore. I definitely have to go again.

July 27, 2024,Wittenberg - Alles Reformation oder was?

Wittenberg appears in history sometime between 970 and 1170. One of the Saxon dukes (the Ascanians, namely Albert I) inherited the area; the city became the capital of the Electorate of Saxony when the Saxons-Wittenbergs became electors in 1356, but disappeared from the scene again when the electoral dignity passed to the other line (the Wettins), and reappeared when the …

This successful day trip took me to Lutherstadt Wittenberg. In just 1.5 hours from Berlin you can reach the historic city on the Elbe with the regional express.
