The big celebration 500 years Luther's wedding anniversary

Trav­el­ling

If pos­sible, we ask you to avoid trav­el­ling by car and to use pub­lic trans­port instead. Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg main rail­way sta­tion has excel­lent con­nec­tions to the region­al and nation­al rail net­work and is with­in walk­ing dis­tance of the fest­iv­al site.

Trav­el­ling by bike

Bicycles can be parked out­side the fest­iv­al area. Addi­tion­al bicycle stands will be set up on the green area in front of the zoo and in the green area par­al­lel to Elbestraße. It is not pos­sible to cycle through the fest­iv­al grounds dur­ing the event.

Lim­ited park­ing facil­it­ies in the city centre

Due to the expec­ted high num­ber of vis­it­ors and the large area of the fest­iv­al grounds, many park­ing spaces in the city centre are not avail­able as they are loc­ated with­in the restric­ted zones. Park­ing in the fest­iv­al area is there­fore not pos­sible. Please use the sign­posted diver­sions and park­ing facil­it­ies.

Fur­ther inform­a­tion for your visit:

Weapons ban on the festival grounds

There is a gen­er­al ban on weapons at the fest­iv­al. Please refrain from car­ry­ing knives or oth­er items that could be clas­si­fied as weapons under the rel­ev­ant legis­la­tion. These items can­not be taken into safe­keep­ing either.

The ban on car­ry­ing weapons does not apply to pre-registered mem­bers of tra­di­tion­al Wit­ten­berg clubs and guest clubs offi­cially invited by the town of Wit­ten­berg. These indi­vidu­als carry his­tor­ic­al cut­ting and stabbing weapons exclus­ively in the con­text of staged per­form­ances, and they are registered by name in advance. They can be clearly iden­ti­fied by stand­ard­ised fea­tures for secur­ity forces.

Photo and film shoots

Pho­to­graphs and videos will be taken dur­ing the event. These will be used for pub­lic rela­tions work and to doc­u­ment the event, for example on our web­site, on social media, and in the print and online media of Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg Mar­ket­ing GmbH.

The record­ings are made on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legit­im­ate interest in pub­lic rela­tions). When you enter the event site, it can­not be ruled out that you will be recog­nis­able in the recordings.

If you do not wish to be pho­to­graphed, please speak to our pho­to­graph­ers directly.
