Lutherstadt Wittenberg Accommodation

Searching for hotels in Lutherstadt Wittenberg (Germany) or Lutherstadt Wittenberg accommodation?  Wittenberg, formally Lutherstadt Wittenberg, is a town in Germany in the Bundesland Saxony-Anhalt, on the Elbe River.

Wittenberg is home to several significant historical artifacts, as well as portraits and early paintings by the Cranachs. On the doors of All Saints' Church, the Schlosskirche ("castle church" built 1496–1506) Luther nailed down his ninety-five theses in 1517. It was severely tarnished by fire in 1760 during a bombing by the French during the Seven Years' War, was practically restored, and was later remolled in (1885–1892).

Inside the church are the tombs of Luther and Philipp Melanchthon, and of the electors Frederick the Wise (by Peter Vischer the Younger, 1527) and John the Constant (by Hans Vischer), and portraits of the crusaders by Lucas Cranach. It holds a impressive picture by Lucas Cranach the Elder, symbolizing the Lord's Supper (with the faces of Luther and other crusaders).

Additionally, there are more historical paintings in the church. The old electoral castle is another of the buildings that suffered seriously in 1760; it now contains archives of the Melanchthon's house and the house of Lucas Cranach the elder (1472–1553), who was mayor of Wittenberg. Statues of Luther (by Schadow), Melanchthon and Bugenhagen beautify the town. The berth outside the Elster Gate is where Luther burned the papal bull in 1520 was branded by an oak tree.

Accommodations are readily available in the city and can suit any budget this includes the Best Western Stadtpalais Wittenberg hotel which is settled in the heart of the city and the Luther-Hotel which is also a UNESCO heritage site.
