Erfurt, Germany
Augustinerkloster
Guest rooms at the Augustinian Monastery don't have radios or TVs, but
German-language reading material is available. My room was supplied with a
Luther translation of the Bible, Martin Luther's Christlicher Wegweiser für
Jeden Tag, a Gideon New Testament, Erfurter Blätter (a monthly church
magazine), and various booklets about the monastery, the city, and the 15th
Century monks whose names are assigned to the 51 bedrooms.
The rooms, which were built within two of the
monastery's wings in 2002, are simply furnished but comfortable. Each has one or
two beds, a table and chair, central heating, large windows, and a modern
bathroom with toilet and shower.
For more information on staying at the monastery as
a tourist or religious visitor, see the
accommodations
page of our
Augustinerkloster article.
Suggestion:
Lutheran church groups from English-speaking
countries often visit Erfurt, but most stay in hotels. If you're organizing a
tour of the Luther Trail, try to include a night at the Augustinian Monastery
where Luther began his religious career. (How often do you get to say, "Martin
Luther slept here, and so did I?")
