Lutherdenkmal, Bronze monument in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany

The Lutherdenkmal stands in the marketplace, featuring a bronze statue of Martin Luther holding an open Bible beneath an iron baldachin structure.

Created in 1821, this monument marks a significant shift as the first public statue in Germany dedicated to honoring a person of non-noble birth.

The monument represents Luther's role in religious reformation through its design, showing him in traditional robes with text from his German translation of the Bible.

Located in the central marketplace of Wittenberg, the monument serves as an orientation point and gathering place for guided tours of the city.

The octagonal base and ornate iron baldachin, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, incorporate medieval architectural elements with bronze craftmanship.
