A 1975 round building, known locally as the elephant toilet, houses this painting measuring 14½ by 123 m (46 x 394 feet), entitled Early Bourgeois Revolution in Germany. It was painted by Werner Tübke between 1976 and 1987, and depicts the Peasants’ Revolt of the early 16th century. The realistic painting features 75 major scenes and around 3,000 people. The revolt was led by Thomas Müntzer, a one-time ally of Martin Luther.
However, he was condemned by Luther after demanding full social revolution, including the overthrow of nobles, and the destruction of monasteries and other religious centers. He led peasants into a one-sided battle against the armies of the nobles. The peasants were slaughtered at the battle of Schlachtberg in 1525. Müntzer was captured, tortured, and executed.
Not surprisingly, Thomas Müntzer became a hero in the German Democratic Republic, while Martin Luther was initially viewed as a traitor of the people. Luther was only rehabilitated in the late 1950s. Opening hours are April to September from Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm, in July and August also on Monday, 1 to 6 pm. From October to March opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm.
