Road worker with a pickaxe in Wittenberg, 1937

In front of the church portal a young man in a vest and cap raises a pickaxe over his head and brings it down into the broken road surface beside a mound of earth and cobbles; he stops, looks toward the camera and bends to his work again, while a nun in a white wimple walks past on the far pavement. Four hundred years after the Reformation, Luther's town was a place of pilgrimage for Protestants, and the regime's German Christians claimed the reformer as a forerunner.
