Today, as it was raining, we went to Wartburg and to Eisenach. Wurtberg is in Eisenach. Wurtberg is where Martin Luther stayed for a while. One of the things that I liked at Wurtberg was this well outside. It had a dragon on the top of the sculpture that was kind of like the Night Fury from `how to Train your dragon´. Also sculpted onto the top of the well were some flowers. Next to the well were snakes, which were quite simple looking but also awesome.
Inside, there were a number of things such as knight armor and furniture as well as utensils which I liked a lot because some of them had sculptures on the end of them of people. It was quite awesome. I was not able to get a picture of all of them, but I did get a few pictures.
After going to Wartburg, we went into Eisenach where it continued to rain and at this point, it was raining pretty tremendously. We could either take a tour of the city or a tour of the Bachhaus, which is a Bach museum, and a short tour of the city. I picked the Bachhaus and short city tour since it was raining. The Bachhaus basically had a lot of Bach´s music and some instruments that I think were used for his music. In the Bachhaus they also had a room where they showed a video of his music being played by a small number of people.
In the tour of Eisenach, there is not much that stuck out in my mind. The only thing that may of stuck out was Martin Luther´s house. There was a statue of St. George that kind of sticks out in my mind.
Why did Martin Luther's childhood house stand out in your memory? What was it about the St. George statue (outside of the church with the same name: Georgenkirche) that was memorable?
