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 work - first as a monk, later as a reformer: it was here that he wrote his 95 theses and developed his reformatory ideas.

Please note: The Luther House will be closed from November 1, 2023 until probably 2026 due to construction work and the creation of a new permanent exhibition.
During this time, the treasures of the Luther House will be presented in the neighboring Augusteum in the exhibition "Literally Luther. Facets of a Reformer" exhibition.
You can find more information about the special exhibition at Literally Luther. Facets of a reformer.
Tuesdays to Fridays*, from 3:30 pm, public guided tours of the special exhibition are offered.
Prior registration is not necessary, simply register at the cash desk and take part.
▪ Costs: Museum admission plus 3 euros
* From April, there will also be a public guided tour on Mondays

Today, Luther's former home is the largest museum in the world dedicated to the history of the Reformation. A permanent exhibition tells the story of Martin Luther's life and work as well as the changes that took place during the Reformation. The exhibits include Luther's monk's habit, the 10 Commandments tablet by Lucas Cranach, Luther's Bible as well as manuscripts and medals. The original Luther parlor is a reminder of the reformer's former dinner conversations.

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

The "Crime Scene 1522" escape room lets the whole family solve puzzles and learn something new about the translation of the Bible in a fun way.

For refreshments, head to the Restaurant von Bora at the Lutherhof.
