CHRIS BOWLBY explores how the Reformation shaped German culture and what it means today.
Germany's celebrating 500 years since the Reformation - but what does it mean today? CHRIS BOWLBY visits Wittenberg - where MARTIN LUTHER started it all in 1517. He discovers how the Reformation transformed life in many different ways, and helped make Germany a nation of singers and book-lovers. But amidst all the culture and kitsch Germany's also grappling with a darker legacy - Luther's anti-Semitism and exploitation by dictators and populists.
