theme year
During all 366 days of the leap year 2012, a ribbon of concerts, church services and soirees will follow the domino effect and run through the whole of Germany in the context of the theme year "Reformation and Music".
The states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia in Central Germany will increase their co-operation for the preparations of the Reformation anniversary in 2017.
In Autumn 1508, Martin Luther came for the first time to Wittenberg, the city which was to become his most important place of work. 500 years later, in September 2008, the Luther Decade was solemnly opened in the Castle Church in Wittenberg..
During the Luther Decade between 2008 and 2017, the Reformation's wide subject range will be taken up and unfolded in annual topics.
