Martin Luther's Birth House

Eisleben, Germany, Germany

---

Martin Luther's Birth House in Eisleben, Germany, is a museum on Lutherstraße marking the site where the Protestant reformer was born on November 10, 1483, to Hans and Margarethe Luther, though the original structure burned down in 1689.

A replacement memorial building arose soon after, evolving into one of Germany's earliest Luther pilgrimage sites with a courtyard redesigned in 1867 by architect Friedrich August Stüler, now forming a horseshoe ensemble with a residential house, former poor school, and modern extension for exhibitions like "From Hence I Am - Martin Luther and Eisleben."

Part of the UNESCO-listed Luther Memorials alongside his death house and Wittenberg sites, it explores Luther's ties to his "fatherland" Eisleben despite his brief infancy there.
