Day 5 – 2025 Holocaust Studies Tour
Lutherstadt – The Good, The Grand, and the Ugly We ventured by Regional Train 3 down to Lutherstadt in Wittenberg today, a welcome break from our challenging theme. We focused on the two churches where Martin Luther worked and preached, St. Mary’s (aka, the Town Church or Stadtkirche) and All Saint’s Church (aka, Castle Church or Schlosskirche). The beauty of these churches forced us to ask questions about why churches look they way they do in the United States, and if our modern structures have lost a perhaps irreplaceable means by which to install awe into our communal worship experiences.
