    500th Anniversary Protestant Reformation Tour of Germany (12 days/10 nights) Itinerary See first hand the venues where Martin Luther the Reformer changed history. Get a view of modern East Germany 500 years after the Reformation. Follow the Luther trail. Experience the music in the places where J. S. Bach, Mendelssohn and many others worked and changed the course of music. Enjoy social and cultural exchange with Germans. Day 1 Departure US Overnight flights to Frankfurt, Germany. Day 2 Arrival/ Eisenach “Guten Tag” and welcome to Germany! Meet your English-speaking German tour escort and transfer by private bus to Eisenach, birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach. You’ll stop in Mühlhausen, with one of the largest remaining medieval city centers in Germany, where Bach once worked as city organist. Continue to Eisenach for check in and welcome group dinner. Day 3 Erfurt/Eisenach Guided walking tour of Eisenach, including visits to the Luther house, one of the oldest and love- liest half-timbered houses in Thuringia, and Bach's birth place. Continue to Erfurt, the young Luther's spiritual home and capital of the land of Thuringia. Your sightseeing includes a visit to the Domberg (Cathedral Hill) with its two main churches, as well as the Augustinian Monastery, where Luther was a student of philosophy from 1501 to 1505. Overnight in Eisenach. Day 4 Wartburg/Leipzig Today, visit stunning Wartburg Castle, one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval castles. The Castle embodies centuries of German history but is perhaps best known as the place where Martin Luther sought sanctuary after his excommunication, and where he translated the New Testament from the original Greek texts into German in only 10 weeks.

  • Wittenberg Influences on the Reformation in Scandinavia by Simo Heininen, Otfried Czaika
    Wittenberg Influences on the Reformation in Scandinavia by Simo Heininen, Otfried Czaika Wittenberg was the most important source of inspiration for the Reformation in both of the Scandinavian kingdoms, the Danish kingdom and the Swedish kingdom. In both kingdoms, the authorities played a defining role in the Reformation, though it proceeded very differently in these two Early Modern states. The Reformation became securely established most quickly – both politically and in terms of church law – in the Danish core territory. Sweden, on the other hand, was de facto already a Lutheran country before 1550, though it did not become Lutheran de jure also until the last decade of the 16th century. Particularly in the peripheral parts of Scandinavia (especially Norway and Iceland), the Reformation went hand in hand with closer political integration in Scandinavia and it was therefore adopted rather reluctantly by the population. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Political Background 2. Denmark 3. Norway and Iceland 4. Sweden 5. Finland 6. Conclusion 7. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Indices Citation Political Background From 1397, the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden were united in a personal union (the so-called Kalmar Union) under Danish control (ᇄ Media Link #ab). In the early-16th century, the union was approaching its end. There were increasing tensions between Denmark and Sweden, the latter being governed by regents from the House of Sture. In November 1520, Christian II of Denmark (1481–1559) (ᇄ Media Link #ac), the last union king, was crowned for a second time in Stockholm. After the coronation festivities had been concluded, a heresy trial was staged with the help of the Archbishop of Uppsala and the accused were the supporters of the Sture party.

  • The Birth of an Empire of Two Churches : Church Property
    The Birth of an Empire of Two Churches: Church Property, Theologians, and the League of Schmalkalden CHRISTOPHER OCKER ID THE CREATION OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES IN GERMANY during Luther’s generation follow someone’s intentions? Heiko Oberman, appealing to a medieval DLuther, portrays the reformer as herald of a dawning apocalypse, a monk at war with the devil, who expected God to judge the world and rescue Christians with no help from human institutions, abilities, and processes.1 This Luther could not have intended the creation of a new church. Dorothea Wendebourg and Hans-Jürgen Goertz stress the diversity of early evangelical movements. Goertz argues that anticlericalism helped the early Reformation’s gamut of spiritual, political, economic, and social trends to coalesce into moderate and radical groups, whereas Wendebourg suggests that the movements were only united in the judgment of the Counter Reformation.2 Many scholars concede this diversity. “There were very many different Reformations,” Diarmaid McCulloch has recently observed, aimed “at recreating authentic Catholic Christianity.”3 But some intention to form a new church existed, even if the intention was indirect. Scholars have identified the princely reaction to the revolting peasants of 1524–1525 as the first impetus toward political and institutional Protestantism.4 There was a 1Heiko A.

  • Reformation 500Th Anniversary Tour & Danube
    REFORMATION 500TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR & DANUBE RIVER CRUISE Hosted by Bill and Angie Heston October 2-13, 2017 Sponsored by First Presbyterian Church Adult Enrichment Featuring a land tour to Wittenberg, Germany where in 1517, Martin Luther “nailed his 95 Theses” on the door of the Castle church which eventually led to the birth of the Protestant Church. The trip includes a 7-night cruise on the Danube River from Nuremberg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary with stops in Regensburg, Passau, Linz, Melk, and Vienna. MONDAY, OCTOBER 2 Meet at IAH for departure to Germany. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3 … BERLIN Arrive Berlin at 11:30 am. Upon arrival at the airport, a local representative will transfer our group to the Adlon Kempinski Hotel. After check-in and lunch, we’ll tour Berlin with an expert local guide visiting the Reichstag, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, whose ruin stands as a dramatic reminder of World War II. Pass by Potsdamer Platz, a bustling cross-section of the city’s past. Once desolate and divided by the Berlin Wall, the square’s redevelopment can be regarded as a statement of intent for the reunified city. Next is ‘Checkpoint Charlie’, the famous crossing point between East and West Berlin during the years of partition. We end the tour with a visit to Berlin Cathedral, the largest 20th Century Protestant church in the country. (B) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4 … WITTENBERG, LEIPZIG, BAMBERG We’ll have an early morning departure from Berlin and travel to Wittenberg, the city known as the “Mother of the Reformation.” It was here that Martin Luther lived and preached, and on October 31, 1517, he reportedly nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the All Saint’s Castle Church, commonly referred to as Schlosskirche, which we will visit.
