Luthers House, at Wittenberg, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Luthers House, at Wittenberg, 1845. The Lutherhaus, built in 1504 as part of the University of Wittenberg in Germany, was home to Protestant reformer Martin Luther for most of his adult life. The town is familiar to us as the location of one of the oldest Universities in Germany, and is a large place, of 8, 500 inhabitants, about thirty miles from Berlin, on the railroad between that capital and Leipsig. The church in which Luther is buried is at one end of the town, and his dwelling at the other. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Lutherhaus, located in Wittenberg, Germany. Built in 1504 as part of the University of Wittenberg, this historic building served as the home to Martin Luther, a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation movement. The town itself is renowned for being home to one of Germany's oldest universities and boasts a population of approximately 8,500 inhabitants. The photograph captures the exterior of Lutherhaus with remarkable detail and precision. Its architectural beauty is evident even in this monochromatic depiction. The engraving perfectly conveys the grandeur and significance of this historical site. Wittenberg holds great importance not only due to its association with Martin Luther but also because it houses his final resting place within a church at one end of town. This image transports us back to 1845 when it was taken by an unknown creator for "Illustrated London News" providing us with a glimpse into history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Luther's profound impact on religion and education during his lifetime. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy that continues to shape our world today.
