Die Schlosskirche (Castle Church) in Wittenberg/ Lutherstadt
is the centerpiece of a number of sites associated with the
Protestant Reformation, including the Wittenberg University and
the homes of Luther and Melanchthon. |
The posting of Luther's
95 theses in 1517 on the door of this church marked the beginning of the
Protestant Reformation. |

The 15th
Century Stadtkirche towers over the central Market Square of
Wittenberg. |
Potsdam is the capital city of Brandenburg, situated on the
Havel river, southwest of Berlin. It is well known for its
historical sites, especially the parks and castles of Sanssouci,
a World Heritage site. |
|
The Oriental Teahouse in the gardens of Sansoucci reflect the
popular style of the 1750's, Chinoiserie, a mixture of
ornamental rococo elements and parts of Oriental architecture. |
Our drive into
central Berlin from Potsdam took us past parks, lakes, and
charming residential areas - which were part of the former West
Berlin. |
