Since the beginning of the Luther Decade in 2008, 500 trees are being planted in Wittenberg. They are going to grow and thrive in the city as green monuments in the memory of 500 years of living Reformation. 500 trees all together, symbolising the 500 years of the Reformation. Churches of all denominations from all over the world are invited to become "godparents" for one of the 500 trees in Wittenberg. On October 21st, 2010 the General Bishop Milos Klatik planted a Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) on behalf of Evangelical Church of Augsburg Confession in the Slovak Republic. The tree is identified as number 150 in the Luthergarten in Wittenberg.
