045: 500 Years - 95 Thesis and Martin Luther in Wittenberg Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

For the 500 year anniversary of Martin Luther nailing 95 thesis to the church door in Wittenberg, I went to Witteberg to visit der Buddler, of Secret Cabinet fame, who worked as a curator for an amazing exhibit. I recorded all day about the happenings, like medieval markets and reenactments, the exhibit itself, and the hundreds of thousands of visitors to this small town.

I recorded parts of the exhibit and my wanderings around Wittenberg on October 31st, 2017 for these Podcasts:

041: The Danevirke with Søren Krarup Nov 20, 2016

Show notes

Søren Krarup from the History of Denmark podcast stops by to clear up the Danevirke: this huge Danish defensive fortification that is now in Germany. I've mentioned it several times in passing with Harald Bluetooth and Otto II, so better just have a whole episode around it. https://thehistoryofdenmark.wordpress.com/
