Luther monument Worms, Bronze monument in Worms, Germany.

The Luther Monument features twelve bronze statues arranged in a castle formation, with Martin Luther as the central figure holding a Bible.

The monument, inaugurated in 1868 with 20,000 attendees, commemorates Luther's defense of his theses at the Diet of Worms in 1521.

Each statue represents important reformation figures including John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and Philipp Melanchthon, illustrating the spread of Protestant thought across Europe.

The monument stands 3.5 meters tall and contains detailed inscriptions, relief sculptures, and coats of arms from 27 Protestant towns.

The design incorporates elements from Luther's hymn 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God' and has inspired seven replicas across the United States.
