This city, whose university was often called the “Leucorea” (“loo-koh-RAY-uh”), had its castle library maintained by the chaplain George Spalatin. A group of 12 nuns fled to this city after being smuggled from a convent in barrels usually used to transport herring. To support her family, a woman raised livestock and ran a brewery out of this city’s converted “Black Cloister.” A pastor in this city was dubbed “Doctor Pomeranus” but was really named Johannes Bugenhagen (“yoh-HAHN-niss boo-ghin-HAH-ghin”). The three “Zwickau (“TSVIK-ow”) Prophets” sparked a dispute in this city, where Katharina von Bora got married. This city’s All Saints’ Church housed the grave of Frederick the Wise of Saxony. A document promulgated in this city condemned the theory that “as soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs” advanced by Johann Tetzel. For 10 points, name this city where Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses. ■END■
ANSWER: Wittenberg (“VIT-in-burg”) [accept University of Wittenberg or Universität Wittenberg; prompt on Lutherstadt until “Luther” is read] (“Leucorea” in Greek means “white mountain,” just as “Wittenberg” does in German. Luther’s wife, Katharina von Bora, was among the nuns who fled to Wittenberg and was the woman who ran the brewery in the former Black Cloister.)
