As I stood beneath the intricately decorated vault of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, I felt a deep sense of reverence. The history of this place – where Luther nailed his theses – was almost tangible. Light streamed through the colorful windows, and for a moment, I felt silent and connected to something greater.

Als ich unter dem kunstvoll verzierten Gewölbe der Schlosskirche in Wittenberg stand, spürte ich Ehrfurcht. Die Geschichte dieses Ortes – wo Luther seine Thesen anschlug – war greifbar. Licht fiel durch bunte Fenster, und für einen Moment fühlte ich mich ganz still und verbunden mit etwas Größerem.
