• The “Lutherstadt Wittenberg” Bahnhof (train-station) is 1,5 km from the Old Latin School and has many travel options.
• Tickets can be purchased at https://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/ or at kiosks in the tunnel under the tracks at the Hauptbahnhof.
• The DB Navigator App for Smartphones is also a useful tool to look up routes and purchase tickets.
• Simply enter “Lutherstadt Wittenberg” as your departure and destination locations and pick out the best travel route.
• IMPORTANT: There is a town called Wittenberge about 2.5 hours from here. This is not Lutherstadt Wittenberg. These two places are often mixed up when planning travels. Make sure check your spelling and to be safe, include “Lutherstadt”. After all, good ol’ Martin Luther was kind of a big deal around here, so they named the town after him.
• Wittenberg is a small enough town, that most places can be easily reached on foot.

Train travel:

• ICE (Fast train) will get you to Wittenberg in 40 minutes. The RB (regional train) will take about 1.5 hours.
• Train stops are announced shortly before arrival and may be posted on visible screens throughout the train.
• Once you arrive in Wittenberg:
  • Follow signs for the “Altstadt”, which will take you to the road.

  • Continue straight through the roundabout and follow the road until you see the twin spires of the city church and head towards them (you are now on Mittelstraße for ~750m).
  • Once you reach the churchyard, turn right and walk directly behind the church. Once you pass the church, you will see the Old Latin School to the right of the church across the churchyard.
  • To reach Colleg Wittenberg, continue on the sidewalk behind the church until you reach the street (Jüdenstraße), and turn right.
  • Colleg Wittenberg will be in ~40 meters, and then on your left.

• The Old Latin School does have a fully functioning kitchen for guests staying with us. Cooking for yourself can significantly lighten your food budget. (See grocery store options below)
• Finding a good restaurant isn’t a very difficult matter. The law requires each establishment to post a copy of the menu outside, which allows you to make fairly quick evaluation of what they offer and prices.
• Once inside, just pick out a table and have a seat. It’s rare for anybody to show you to a seat. If there’s no empty table, it’s all right to ask people already seated if you can share their table. They’ll usually agree. If you are unsure, you can also ask: “Ist hier frei?” (Is this spot free?).
• You will get no glass of water from the waiter unless you order it. Make sure you specify if you want non-carbonated or carbonated water.
