Luthergrund Altenstein, Historical obelisk memorial in Steinbach, Germany
The Luthergrund Altenstein obelisk stands prominently in the Steinbach area of Wartburgkreis, marking a significant location in Protestant history through architectural design.
The memorial, constructed in 1857, replaced the original Lutherbuche tree where Martin Luther was reportedly captured following the Diet of Worms in 1521.
The monument represents a transformation from natural to architectural commemoration, marking the spot where Luther received protection during the Protestant Reformation movement.
Visitors can reach the memorial by following the Lutherweg trail, located approximately 2 kilometers northeast of Altensteiner Park in Thuringia.
Wood from the original Luther beech tree, destroyed in 1841, was distributed across Europe as memorial artifacts, leading to the construction of this stone monument.
