The Wittenberg Festival 30 years Luther's wedding anniversary

Arrival

We kindly ask you to avoid trav­el­ing by car if pos­sible and to use pub­lic trans­port­a­tion instead. Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­ber­g’s main train sta­tion is excel­lently con­nec­ted to the region­al and nation­al rail net­work and is with­in walk­ing dis­tance of the fest­iv­al grounds.

Any­one in pos­ses­sion of a val­id entry tick­et” or a 63-euro tick­et may use the shuttle ser­vice free of charge upon present­a­tion of these tickets.

Oth­er­wise, the stand­ard fare for pub­lic trans­port­a­tion in the Wit­ten­berg dis­trict applies.

Lim­ited park­ing in the down­town area

Due to the expec­ted high num­ber of vis­it­ors and the large size of the fest­iv­al grounds, many park­ing spaces in the down­town area will not be avail­able, as they are loc­ated with­in the restric­ted zones. Park­ing with­in the fest­iv­al grounds is there­fore not pos­sible. Please use the sign­posted detours and park­ing options. Dur­ing the fest­iv­al, Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg offers two spe­cial park­ing lots with free spaces on Dob­schütz­straße and near the main train station.
