Luther's Geburtshaus

Central Germany


This house where the famous religious reformer Martin Luther was born has been a memorial site since 1693, though it has been updated since then. The original house is furnished in period style, while annex-wing exhibits focus on Luther's family and aspects of the society in which he grew up.
