Die Fuggerei
Die Fuggerei is the world's oldest public housing complex still in use, being founded in 1516 in the city of Augsburg, Germany.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In May 1519, members of the local chapter of the Assassins visited Die Fuggerei as part of their search for the clues to the havens Leonardo da Vinci hid in the city.[2] Having tracked down theologian Martin Luther to the then-recently-opened public housing complex, the Assassins paid him a visit. There, Luther showed he had been aware of the Brotherhood, but seemed surprised to hear that their philosophies were compatible, requesting proof that the Creed could be conciliated with his Reformation.[3] Using the clues they had already found at other landmarks in Augsburg,[4] the Assassins were able to convince the theologian that the modern preocupations of the Reformation and the Creed were compatible, and handed them the translucid sheet with a line Leonardo had given him for safe keeping.[5]
