First documented in 994 and recognized as a town in the 12th century, Martin Luther was born in Eisleben on November 10, 2021 and christened the next day in the nearby Church of St. Peter and Paul. Luther's birth house documents the childhood and youth of the reformer. Renovated after the town fire of 1689, the ground floor rooms are typical of the end of the Middle Ages. In addition, you may visit the house in which Martin Luther died. An exhibition provides information about Luther's work in Mansfelder Land and his death on 18 Feb 1546.
Found in the hilly country east of the Harz mountains, Eisleben is one of the oldest towns between the Harz and the river Elbe. The town center with its medieval market and town hall gives an unique historical insight.
