We were in Coburg visiting some church planters this past weekend. we got to spend some time with them on Sat eve and Sun afternoon asking questions and learning…
We also took some time on Sat to visit the Veste Coburg Citadel, one of the largest fortresses in Germany. It was amazing! It just kept going and going and going…
One of the most interesting things about the castle is that Martin Luther spent 6 months here in hiding so he wouldn’t be burned at the stake as a heretic. While he was here he continued translating the Bible into German so the common man could read it. Actually, after the Reformation, Coburg became Protestant resulting in all Catholics being persecuted.
