Guided Story
Imagine standing here, right in the bustling heart of Berlin, where a grand monument once celebrated the reformer Martin Luther. Look up, and you'll see Luther's statue gazing sternly into the distance. This figure has stood the test of time and now resides at the north side of St. Mary's Church. Did you know the original monument was much larger, crafted by sculptors Paul Otto and Robert Toberentz? Just behind you, the Neptunbrunnen gently splashes, as if whispering tales of the past. Since 1989, Luther has stood on his polished granite pedestal, a silent witness to Berlin's ever-changing landscape. It's a piece of history you can almost touch.
