On Monday I got a postcard from Germany.
It shows the Theses Doors at the Castle Church in Wittenberg, where Martin Luther allegedly posted his Ninety-five Theses in 1517. The Theses Doors are massive commemorative bronze doors, which were mounted onto the jambs where the original wooden ones had been located before they were destroyed. The Theses Doors were inaugurated in 1858. The Ninety-five Theses are inscribed in their original Latin form on the doors.
To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation a group of Postcrossers organises a series of Meet-ups at important places in Martin Luther's life. The third of four was held on Saturday in Wittenberg.
The card was signed during the Meet-up.

Thank You very much Thomas!
