On 10 November 1483 Martin Luther was born in Eisleben as the son of a miner. After his school year, he began a jurisprudence in 1501. When he is almost killed by a lightning bolt on 02.07.1505, he changes his life. Luther became a monk and began the theological studies. He graduated with the title “Doctor of Theology”. He then teaches at the University of Wittenberg.
In the course of his teaching work, Luther is concerned with the original texts of biblical books. He recognized that there is a great contradiction between biblical texts and church practice. His 95 theses against the indulgences, which he published in Wittenberg on October 31, 1515, are regarded as the beginning of the Reformation. In his 95 theses, Luther criticized grievances in the church as well as the practice of freeing himself from his guilt with money, the so-called indulgences. The church sees this as an attack on your sovereignty and tries to persuade Luther to revoke. Since he does not take back his theses, he is persecuted and has to flee. He finds protection on the Wartburg in Eisenach. There he translates the Bible into German.
His translation is different from the previous, because he deliberately chooses a generally intelligible spache. It is said, “He hath looked upon the people.” This simple language as well as the invention of the letterpress with movable letters of Gutenberg lead to a rapid spread of the “Lutherbibel” as well as other writings by Martin Luther. Since the Church does not agree with Luther’s reformatory writings, the church is split. In 1546, Martin Luther died in Eisleben on 18 February. His translation of the Bible was the foundation for a unified German language and the basis for the renewal of the Church. On October 31 (Reformation Day) the publication of his 95 theses is still thought to be the beginning of his work.
In 2017 this event will be celebrated for the 500th time.
