Guided Story
Picture yourself standing in a spot where history was made, right at the footsteps of Martin Luther's legacy. Take a good look at these enormous shoes, as if they're rooted firmly in the ground. Behind you, St. Peter's Cathedral silently witnessed his courageous stand. Imagine Luther, surrounded by the empire's elite, defending his beliefs right here. There's a story that one of the attendees felt Luther's resolve was so palpable, it seemed like he could move the earth itself. Turn slightly, and there's Heylshof Park – a peaceful retreat contrasting the intense historical events that unfolded here.
