2017: Reformation

500 years ago Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg and thus started a series of events, which changed the Western World forever. To commemorate this important event this year will be filled with postcards, stamps and postmarks about it. So stay tuned!

Edit 31st October 2018:
To fit the Reformation into the new Index, I have edited many of the posts I have written in the last year. Many posts were merged, others were deleted completely and some I will hold back for later days. Here you can see a new list of the published and planned posts, but I will also keep the old list as well.

The Reformation of Jan Hus
Lutheran Reformation
Martin Luther and his Companions
The Reformation in Lower Saxony
The Music of Bach
Zwingli and Calvin
Huguenots

Peace of Westphalia

With the new post order the Town Church of Wittenberg somehow did not find a new home. So instead of putting it in one of the posts it will from now on be shown here.
