UNESCO Luther House

The Luther House, once an Augustinian monastery, served as the Luther family's home for over 35 years and was Martin Luther's main place of activity - first as a monk, later as a reformer: it was here that he wrote his 95 theses and developed his reformatory ideas.

Today, Luther's former home is the largest museum in the world dedicated to the history of the Reformation. A permanent exhibition tells of Martin Luther's life and work, as well as the changes that took place at the time of the Reformation. Exhibits include Luther's monk's habit, Lucas Cranach's 10 Commandments tablet, Luther's Bible, and manuscripts and medals. The originally preserved Lutherstube recalls the former table conversations of the reformer.

"In search of clues! With Martin's dog Tölpel on the road in the Luther House" also invites children and families to discover Tölpel's home together with him. At seven hands-on stations, he tells his own story about the exhibits in the museum and encourages the young guests to get active themselves.
