Dear pil­grims on ‘Luther’s foot­steps’,
as the Ger­man respon­si­ble for our project of re-enewing the medieval VIA ROMEA from Stade to Rome (Asso­ci­a­tion: Foerderverein “Romweg Abt Albert von Stade e.V.”) in Ger­many, together with the Ital­ian ini­tia­tor Gio­vanni Caselli (Bib­bi­ena / AR) and oth­ers,
I am very inter­ested in your reli­gious project and the way your are run­ning it — by feet and by heart.
Espe­cially I would like to know if you have planned your route based on any his­tor­i­cal doc­u­ments or reports which prove that Luther really has taken the same way as you show it in inter­net?
We are very happy to have an his­tor­i­cal manusript-document of about 1260 where
abbot Albert has writ­ten all the pos­si­bil­i­ties of pilgrim-routes and towns and dis­tances, also of the way back from Rome to Stade, real­ized in 1236.
I will be glad to hear from you soon,
Yours Uwe Schott, Plankstadt near Heidelberg
