Wittenberg near the end of October is usually "cold and wet," an exhibit inside the W360 panorama explains.

Even so, in 1517 its streets would have been filled with merchants, townsmen, farmers, and other travelers. Many who were traveling to the city were coming to see Elector Frederick the Wise's collection of relics of saints from throughout Europe, which were located in Castle Church.

Trouble was brewing at this time as Johannes Tetzel was known for selling indulgences in the region and Wittenberg residents would purchase these and show them to Luther, something that greatly disturbed him and a subject he preached against.
