All Saints' Church in Wittenberg was designed by Conrad Pflüger for Frederick III the Wise, Elector of Saxony. The infobox and text agree it was erected from 1490 to 1511. The infobox gives 1511 as completion, but the church was consecrated in 1503, before that date.
The article calls the style Late Gothic, with a Neo-Gothic restoration in 1883. It mentions alabaster and bronze statues, bronze doors weighing about 1,000 kilograms and a glazed brick roof from 1999 to 2000. The main structural material is not stated. The steeple is 289 feet (88 m) high.
Luther was buried there in 1546, a fire struck during the Seven Years' War in 1760, and the bronze doors were installed in 1858. It was restored in 1883 and re-inaugurated in 1892. UNESCO listed it in 1996, and it was renovated and reopened in 2016. It serves worship, town archives, the Riemer-Museum and a youth hostel. The article gives no hours.
