LutherMuseums in Wittenberg

The Luther museums in Lutherstadt Wittenberg include the Luther House and the Melanchthon House. The Luther House is now the world's largest museum dedicated to the history of the Reformation, where you can learn all about the movement and its greatest proponents - above all, of course, Martin Luther. Incidentally, the historic building was once the home of Martin Luther and Katharina von Bora and witness to many a dinner conversation that led to the Reformation. In the Melanchthon House you will find a wonderful exhibition about the life and work of Philipp Melanchthon, one of Martin Luther's most important companions and the so-called "Teacher of Germany". This house was also the home of Melanchthon and his family at the time of the Reformation.

Luther museums in Eisleben and Mansfeld

If you still haven't had enough of the Luther museums, you can find out even more about the great reformer on a trip to the Luther towns of Eisleben-Mansfeld. Here you will find Luther's birth and death houses. Luther's birthplace now houses a permanent exhibition on the origins of the reformer, his parents and life in the Middle Ages. The Luther family home is recreated with period furniture and tools. The exhibition in Luther's death house deals with Martin Luther's last great journey from Wittenberg to Eisleben and his final days there. Luther's childhood home also houses an exhibition entitled "I am a Mansfeld child". Here you can find out more about Martin Luther's early life. Other Luther memorials include St. Petri-Pauli Church in Eisleben, where Luther preached his last sermons, and St. Petri-Pauli Church, where he was baptized.
