'Wartburg, Eisenach.'
After Luther had been banned following his 95 theses against the catholic church, he was abducted. It was a clever move by Friedrich der Weise (Frederick the Wise) - Luther's protector - to have him kidnapped and then hidden in his own castle, disguised as Junker Jörg. Now everyone thought him to be dead.
Luther's stay in the Wartburg has been of great significance for Germany. On Friedrich's advice (who remained catholic himself) Luther set himself to the enormous task of translating the Bible into ordinary German. It helped keep away depression during the months he was isolated in his little room high in the castle. The result wasn't just beneficial to the Reformation, but to the German language as well. Luther had listened to the man in the street to make sure that God's word would be understood. And in doing so he laid the foundation for the modern German language.

'Castle of Stolberg, Harz.'
The castle of Stolberg offers a pleasant view upon the most picture perfect town of the eastern Harz. Stolberg has no suburbs, survived all wars unscathed and has the best kept half-timbered houses of all towns in the former GDR. Even in communistic times the incoming roads were of flawless quality. One reason for this is that many secret service employees went on holiday here and government officials often chose this location to invite their high guests. But the main reason is that Thomas Müntzer was born here, leader of the farmers revolts of 1525. And therefore the first Great Revolutionary!
Four valleys and four ribbons of white half-timbered houses with orange roofs converge upon the market square with its unusual town hall dating from 1482. It has no stairs on the inside, forcing city employees outside when they want to go to another floor. Two panoramic paths surround the village, the Untere and the Obere Bandweg. The lower starts at the castle. Photo Paul Smit.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/139247937_oQxtN-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.SACHSENANHALT 23]

Typical Bavaria: drinking a Mass of beer. Passau, where the photo is taken, has a southern spirit with its street cafés and its river front promenades along the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz.
