Martin Luther's posting of the theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church brought the city to world fame.

The former preaching church of Martin Luther and mother church of the Reformation is one of the tourist highlights of Lutherstadt Wittenberg.

The origins of the town church of St. Mary, a medieval building at its core, date back to the Romanesque period.

The oldest building in the town of Markkleeberg was first mentioned in a document in 1372.
