Collect stamps of the reformer Martin Luther at Hermann E. Sieger GmbH!

Martin Luther was born in Eisleben in 1483. He joined the Augustinian mendicant order in Erfurt and was ordained a priest in 1507. After studying theology, he came to Wittenberg University as a professor in 1512.

There he came to the realization that man is righteous not on the basis of his works but rather by the grace of God. At the time, this realization contradicted the indulgence trade. For this reason he wrote his 95 theses .

In 1521, Elector Friedrich the Wise had Martin Luther brought to the Wartburg. As Junker Jörg, he translates the New Testament from Greek into German at the castle.

Back in Wittenberg, Martin Luther married the nun Katharina von Bora. He died on February 18, 1546 in his native town Eisleben.
