Martin Luther - Reformation in Germany

Martin Luther's life and history are inexorably tied to countless sites in Germany. Wittenberg, for example, known parenthetically as Lutherstadt (Luther-town), is where he nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in 1517, beginning the Reformation in Germany. According to Martin Luther, the Reformation was a fight for the gospel and a chance for him to reform the Catholic Church and return Christianity to its roots.

But Wittenberg wasn't the only place where Martin Luther's life was shaped. Part of Martin Luther's history included his time spent at the Wartburg Castle near Eisenach, from May 1521 until March 1522, where he translated the New Testament into German.
