This led us to the Memorial Church of the Protestation; alas we were misinformed - the theses were nailed to the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg. Nevertheless we made it here just as the church was closing, and the gentleman closing up graciously allowed us a few minutes in the Memorial Hall. Here is a bronze statue of Luther and six other protesters from the 1529 Diet of Speyer, which the church memorializes. No door theses, but still a beautiful church and worthwhile to see.
