Luther Memorials

Luther Memorials (Inscribed)

Luther Memorials by Michael Turtle

This is one of those WHS's where the reason for inscription is actually more about something that is hard to physicalise... so they just create a reason to use some buildings to represent the idea. As a result, I found it rather unimpressive.

Obviously the history of Martin Luther is extremely significant and the bonus of visiting the places included within this site is that you learn a lot about it. It wasn't a topic I knew a huge amount beforehand, so I appreciate that. However, I felt more like I was in a series of museums rather than seeing something of actual historical and cultural worth.

Personally, I found Wittenberg to be more enjoyable than Eisleben - but it was also a much more touristy town and there were a lot of people around. Still, everything in both sites is done very well and if you know what to expect, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
