In the Georgenkirche, founded by Ludwig III at the end of the 12th century, 14 year-old Hungarian daughter of the king, Elizabeth, married Ludwig IV. This is where Martin Luther sang in the choir as a student, later on he preached in this church, right before he was taken to the Wartburg for his protection. For more than 132 years members of Johann Sebastian Bach's family made music on the organ bench of his baptistery. The Wartburgfest (Wartburg festival) of the fraternity in 1817 started off here, just like the prayers for peace in 1989.
