A short distance away from Halle, Wittenberg, and Leipzig where Martin Luther frequently lectured, Eisleben is his famed birthplace and place of death. It’s a good idea to visit these places all in one trip to get a feel of what it was like to live during the 16th century, a lot of the buildings in Luther’s era are still standing today as protected monuments.

Apart from the house where Martin Luther was born and the building in which he died, I found it a local oddity to have a Soviet war memorial. A tranquil park with dense foliage and paved paths from the communist era featuring a brick gate at the main entrance and a war heroes’ cemetery with red stars on the headstones. Soviet memorials from the Cold War placed in the same town as religious historical sites on the Reformation, I really don’t know what to make of it.

The train station is an attraction in itself; the platforms are harry raised so passengers have to climb a ladder to get on trains. When I was there, the train stopped in the outside tracks so a conductor had to manually change the signals, wave a little flag, and tell us that it was safe to cross the live trans to the train. What a way to go!
