Three towns all on a Tuesday

Luther is honored here in Worms, where at the Diet of Worms (1521) he refused to recant his beliefs saying, “Here I stand, I can do no other”.
In Speyer an ancient imperial town, this Luther statue stands in the entrance to the Memorial Church built around 1900. The church was built as a memorial to the world’s Protestants. It was in Speyer that the name “Protestant” was first used in 1529.
Speyer has set up a skating rink – it sure is cold enough!
Mmmm…. A Speyer buttered pretzel.
Rothenburg ob de Tauber, enchanting in the twilight.
