The roots of the ​“Johan­niter” date back to the year 1099, when the Order was foun­ded in Jer­u­s­alem and ded­ic­ated itself to caring for the sick and the needy. Even dur­ing the Reform­a­tion, there were close ties to Mar­tin Luth­er and his circle: The Johan­niter priest Nic­olas Faber stud­ied in Wit­ten­berg, and the Johan­niter also provided pro­tec­tion and lodging for Luth­er on his jour­ney to the Diet of Worms. These his­tor­ic­al con­nec­tions con­tin­ue to shape the spe­cial rela­tion­ship with Luth­er­stadt to this day.

At Luther’s wed­ding, the Johan­niter-Unfall-Hil­fe brings his­tory to life in a vivid way. A his­tor­ic­al field hos­pit­al is set up in the Bugen­ha­gen­hof, offer­ing insights into med­ic­al care in the early mod­ern peri­od. Scen­ic reen­act­ments demon­strate treat­ment meth­ods of bygone eras and bring his­tor­ic­al medi­cine to life. The pro­gram is com­ple­men­ted by hands-on activ­it­ies for fam­il­ies and chil­dren. In this way, the asso­ci­ation com­bines his­tor­ic­al reen­act­ment with the Johanniter’s core val­ues: to help, pro­tect, and be there for others.

You can find us at Bugenhagenhof.
