On Friday, June 11, 2016 we visited two churches: the Lutherkirche (Luther Church) and the Melanchtonkirche (Melanthon Church). The Lutherkirche was destroyed in World War II and has been kept as a memorial. There has been a restaurant in the ruins of the church for the past few years. The Melanchtonkirche was built after the war as an emergency church. City pastor Susanne Schramm told us about the history of the church and of the city of Ludwigshafen. Of course Martin and Katharina Luther, the reformation, and its consequences were the topic at the Luther-Brunnen.
