Quote of the Month
“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.”
Martin Luther
Welcome to the official website of LutherCountry...
Martin Luther, the Father of the Reformation, spent
most of his life (1483 – 1546) in the neighboring German states of
Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
LutherCountry, the region about halfway between Berlin
and Frankfurt, presents places associated with Luther, such as:
- Lutherstadt Eisleben, where Martin Luther was born and died
- Erfurt, Eisenach, and Wartburg Castle, where he studied, preached, and translated the New Testament into German
- Lutherstadt Wittenberg, the Birthplace of the Reformation, where Luther married and lived for 35 years
...and welcome to the LutherDecade!
LutherCountry is celebrating the LutherDecade, a 10-year build-up to 2017 and the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Every year, we will focus on a special theme and celebrate the decade in authentic cities. Regardless of when you visit, there will always be special events in LutherCountry for you to experience and enjoy!
