Luther and the Princes

Torgau – one of Germany’s most beautiful Renaissance towns – is situated in an area bounded by Wittenberg, Leipzig and Dresden. As the electoral seat of Saxony, Torgau was the political centre of the Reformation. It was here too that Luther consecrated the first Protestant church built in accordance with his ideas. In this exhibition in Schloss Hartenfels, the Electoral Chancellery and the Superintendency Building, unique art works, documents and precious objects bring the age of Reformation to back life. Throughout the entire summer, the (self-)image projected by rulers in the time of Martin Luther, and the regal splendour they enjoyed, can be experienced in authentic historical settings.
