Cole Chapman ’16<\/em> – Arriving in Wittenberg, we weren\u2019t sure what to expect.\u00a0 The quaint little train stop did not seem to fit our mold of the Wittenberg we had read of in books.\u00a0 Instead, it was this small town which had so much history packed into each stone.\u00a0 We traversed the streets to the Marktplatz where two beautiful statues of Luther and Melanchthon stood.\u00a0 Not too far past that was our hotel, which gave us some prime-time real estate.\u00a0 After lunch at Tante Emma\u2019s and a small walk, we arrived at the Lutherhaus.<\/p>\n

It was quite large for the humble Luther we had experienced in class.\u00a0 The sheer volume of Luther history was unbelievable.\u00a0 The impact that Luther had could be seen in items such as the disputation bench which bears his image.\u00a0 We wandered through the museum, encountering things such as the judgment sword of Wittenberg, which Luther saw as a symbol of power over the body, but not the soul.\u00a0 One of the most fascinating items to see was one of Luther\u2019s first prayer books and his translation of the Bible into German.\u00a0 Both of these articles had extreme importance to Luther in his time, and continue to be important around the world today.<\/p>\n

After our visitation, we met Bishop Guy Erwin for dinner at a local restaurant.\u00a0 The only proper way to end the night was with good food and good friends, which was exactly what we did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
