Celebrate in Wittenberg: Luther's wedding and big festival weekend!

Wittenberg, Deutschland - in Wittenberg is celebrated again at the weekend, because the city festival "Luther's wedding" awaits visitors with a colorful supporting program that invites you to linger. The ceremony begins this Friday, June 13, 2025, the wedding anniversary of Martin Luther and Katharina von Bora from 1525. This special occasion is duly celebrated every year, and the program details can be found on Luthochzeit.de.

On Saturday, June 14th, in addition to the celebrations in Wittenberg, there will also be a children's and family festival in the youth club "Im Dickicht" in Wörlitz. Here the little ones can be active in a playground while the parents relax over coffee and cake. At the same time, there is a summer festival in the Diest-Hof in Seyda, which begins at 2 p.m. with a reception by the Spielmannszug and a prayer of Deacon Guido Merten. The theater group "Die Glücksrakets" will also occur, and a special exhibition entitled "The Dangerous Blacksmith" provides additional entertainment.

craftsmanship on the Wittenberger Töpfermarkt

Another integral part of the Wittenberg event calendar is the Wittenberg pottery market, which is known for its size and beauty. Ceramists and pottery workshops present their craftsmanship on the market square and churchyard of the town church. On Saturday, the market is traditionally opened by the mayor at 10 a.m., accompanied by the ceremonial move -in of the potter. Visitors can look over the shoulder of the artisans on the potter's disk and bring colorful creations into the house.
