valid in 2015Lutherstadt Wittenberg
First time mentioned in 1183, Wittenberg was the residence of
Friedrich der Weise at the end of the 15th century. His political
shrewdness, the university founded in 1502 and the influence of
Luther and other reformers made Wittenberg become a centre of
intellectual life in Europe for a long time. Playing a big role in
Church, Science and Culture Wittenberg is named “Lutherstadt”
since 1938. The “Bauhaus” in Dessau and the “Wörlitzer
Gartenreich”, both are UNESCO world cultural heritages, invite
you to linger.
Located directly at the Elbe River, Wittenberg is reachable for
cyclists as well as for cars and busses by the B2 or the A9. Also an
ICE connection Berlin-Leipzig is available. 90 km south of Berlin, 70 km north of Leipzig and
Halle/Saale and 35 km east of Dessau, Wittenberg is for groups and seminars alike.
