From luther snow globes to lou thirsts alarm me the former is now a souvenir star. Globe trotters sends us money or guides from sri lanka. And in our email we take to the paragliding bakery. Im on my way to buy. Book castle high above eyes and this is where Martin Luther translated the new testament into german between fifteen twenty one and fifteen twenty two. Its a climb. But if you run out of breath dont worry along the way youll find fifteen panels with information about luther the perfect excuse for a little break. Luther was quite the phrase monger many of his sayings still apply today. Bill where of cats that lift you when youre looking but scratch you when youre not i kind of doubt he was really talking about cats there of course when he was really talking about were hypocrites backstabbers. Ive made it bought a book castle its almost a thousand years old and a unesco World Heritage site. It played an Important Role in Martin Luthers life its where he took refuge when he was declared an outlaw protected by the thick castle walls he translated the bible before that he spent a lot of time on the road. This is the kind of carriage Martin Luther would travel with back in the day and this one is a hand crafted replica for the special exhibition luther and the germans that you can visit here and till november fifth of two thousand and seventy. And you. Vote for castle is more than just an eleventh century castle its a national icon. And i was an ox main landmark. In this small room Martin Luther worked on his translation of the new testament into german. It took him just eleven weeks and his translation sold like hotcakes. It was the first one to translate the bible but he did it very well. And most importantly he translated from the greek and not simply from latin into german what was the. Special exhibition luther and the germans include some three hundred exhibits. From the exhibition in Vauxhall Corsa shows five hundred years of german history always in light of luthers relationship with the germans or from the reformation influenced german history but also how every historical era produced its own image of luther. And they differ widely. Luther and the national hero. Luther who split the church. The protestant reformers just one reason or castle attracts so many tourists its very well preserved and its magnificent rooms vividly evoke medieval courtly life. In the thirteenth century Elizabeth Langridge enough the regio lived in these apartments. She just tribute it almost to the poor founded a hospital and is now honored. For council is a place where important historical figures lived momentous events occurred and inspiration went out into the world for all those reasons it truly is a national icon. Luther once said about eyes enough and no town knows me better not only did he take refuge in bought book castle he also lived in eyes enough as a schoolboy a larger than life statue memorializes him the reliefs on its pedestal show scenes from his life. He must have once entered eyes enough through the nikolai gates it was built in eleven seventy and its the oldest city gate in there in jail. As a schoolboy he sang in the choir in St Georges Church later in fifteen twenty one on his trip to the diet of warms and back he preached here. You can find out all that and more on these information columns they direct you to the town sites and when you see this green arrow you know the site is connected to luther. Ive made my way to the loser house and want to find out what this story q. R. Code can tell me about this case that ca. In the probably oldest half to murder house of thuringia Martin Luther is reported to have spent his most wonderful and formative school days with the cause of family seems like a pretty important place in luthers life so we should go check it out. The permanent exhibition luther and the bible is here in this building that explains why how and with whom luther translated the bible and the effect those were. It had a language literature and music. These are the luther rooms where the young Martin Luther is said to have lived from fourteen ninety eight to fifty no one in exchange for food and lodging he tutored the kata son. Time now for something completely different our weekly it was sent to us i am told and from russia the couple traveled throughout the kim down mountains in the biggest sun and from the looks of it had an amazing time see for yourselves. Our next stop now ford is about an hours drive from luther lived there for ten years in fifteen zero five he became a monk and its obvious to me a monastery. No monks live in the monastery now the complex is used as an educational and conference center. It is here to show it to me the Management Team and charge of the library. Part of the former monastery is a museum here you can see how Martin Luther and the monks lived five hundred years ago. And that flute there is famous so i suppose. Who is this. Selling efforts of. The room Martin Luther was allowed to use for several years. And in the dormitory where in there were a large number of cells like this and the best known of course is the one were standing in front of. You say luther used to be actually lived here that. He lived in and amongst cells are basically studies which they used for reading or contemplation when they wanted to price at some point in the day. But they all had to sleep in his dormitory so it was a study not a place to be on your own. Privacy not in a monastery. We go on to the library at the back of the former dormitory sixty thousand sixty thousand books here because of. His works and literature from the sentry of the reformation if you could say effort is the memory of the reformation collected together here. Just. Becoming what was life like in the monastery what was the monks daily routine. The routine was structured by hourly prayers for which the monks gathered seven times a day here in the church chances. In between they had tasks they had to perform of god and there were decisions of responsibility such as kitchen manager salary and no obvious master which entailed specific tasks there was a lot to do in the course of the day. Things were interesting jan i really enjoyed it thank you for coming up. Of course the augustinian monastery isnt the only face here an effort where luther left his mark if you want to find out war about him and his life you have quite a lot of work ahead of you. Fasting praying. That some Martin Luther lived as a monk in effort his time in the August Indian ministry and other stations in his life are described in a series of pictures in the town hall. In fifteen zero seven he was ordained a priest in an effort to feed just a few steps from the monastery its the towns oldest and most important change building. Luther attended St Michaels Church regularly during his time as a University Student later it would become one of the focal points of the reformation after fifteen twenty one and the first Protestant Service took place in africa. Luther spent four years at the university there he built the foundations and arrived inspiration for his Later Development in fifteen thirteen he wrote effort university is my mother to whom i owe everything. He said to have lived in the gay organ beza a sort of medieval student hostel. On the way back from a visit to his parents he had an experience an effort to change his life he was gotten a thunderstorm and nearly struck by lightning after that he swore hed become a monk. Two weeks later. He entered the augustine monastery. Near the kramer or merchants bridge the towns main landmark a stairway. Leads to the river again. Who knows maybe luther dipped his feet in the water here as well. The crane a broker is the longest bridge in europe thats completely lined with inhabited buildings its one hundred twenty meters long luxury items such as spices and silk one sold here. Nowadays the shop still make and sell only Handmade Products and they still give the bridge its unique charm. One of those charming shops is the. Tour which sells beautiful handcrafted chocolates and truffles. There is Martin Luther again im going to get to make some of the chocolate myself with the help of. The kitchens where the chocolate is made arent far from the shop on the. Ballots were making another chocolate today what exactly is that. I wanted to make something that tastes like luther it was not easy how does luthor taste. About trying to capture the taste of this place where luther stayed if we were standing between the inside of a church and the monasteries herb garden i wouldnt call i wanted to create the feeling that you can taste and. Sounds great lets go and how do we start start with the lack of fruit for jam we have lovely cherries here and we make it very traditionally just with sugar. Gerrys are typical of the region around ere for us then. Look here. I said. To make it taste like the scent of a monastery we had rosemarie in the till. Now all thats missing is the chocolates we make that by hand as well crushing the cocoa beans into a chocolate cream called by the way here to make your. Rosemary. Now the jam the spread on two. And we pour the chocolate on well my product is drying well finish up our alex prepared earlier and for the perfect finish comes the trademark wrinkle of edible gold. What does the boss think very good you can stop. Then ill be back tomorrow you know six am. Zor so here is the finish chocolate. That is what my chocolate will look like once it hits the store. Though there was a very indulgent person and as such i bet he would have loved the thought of having such a delicious chocolate named after him but he would have probably also found a lot of the hype around his persona quite disturbing the reformer is being worshipped like a pop star merchandising and all. The first. Beer. Loser chocolate. And luther. There is nothing you cant buy the huge selection of anniversary products is being sold mainly in Specialty Shops like those on air for its claim of burka. You can also find this creation a lutheran bible made of salami. The most fitting way to drink the beer that goes with it is from these luther mugs theyre made by hand in the workshop at airports kristoffer was a charitable organization. But. Then theres this high calorie treat the luther bible in chocolate as far as chocolate is concerned of his portrait is on it it sells especially well in every possible variation. Of. This new good is really sweet. In all the towns connected with the money is rolling in topping the list of course where he posted his ninety five theses naturally you can also buy them as souvenirs. But you wont find the hammer a nail to go with them but otherwise the range of luther products knows no bounds. There are former makes a great pasta. And of course he loves to stand in the snow. But whether that really encourages people to think of him or the reformation remains doubtful despite all the fun. With. Martin luther was married for twenty one years and had six children by now there are said to be about two thousand eight hundred direct descendants of the family worldwide klaus heads is one of them we met him in efforts mediaval restaurant groups can dine here the way people did back in luthers day. Klaus has is a twelve fold great grandson of luther his line of descent goes back to paul. The fifth child of Martin Luther and. What does it mean to you to be a descendant of Martin Luther. Used to mean nothing to me because i didnt know about it. Since become very important because it shapes my life. What is sad and right now enriches my life just mind it makes it enjoyable. You know i joined the luther rights and association of direct descendants of Martin Luther family was the luther rights mission. The lutheran to manage. To maintain the Family Network of luthers descendants and to meet Exchange Information and learn from each other and then to cultivate the spirits of Martin Luther and convey it to the world to. Bless how is it with you do you see this as an obligation to your ancestors or is it more of a privilege for you to keep his memory alive my live. My life is linked to the faith as Martin Luther described it with. Results enjoying what i do including what we do in association to the towns really great hope you continue to enjoy it.
