Martin Luther Monument, Bronze sculpture at Luther Place Memorial Church, Washington, D.C., United States.
The Martin Luther Monument stands 11.5 feet tall on a 14-foot granite pedestal, depicting Luther in a long robe holding a Bible.
German Emperor William I presented this bronze replica of the Luther Monument from Worms, Germany, to the church in 1884 for Luther's 400th birth anniversary.
The statue represents the first outdoor sculpture of a religious figure in Washington, D.C., marking the expansion of Lutheran heritage in America.
Located on a triangular lot between 14th Street, N Street, Thomas Circle, and Vermont Avenue NW, the monument is accessible to pedestrians year-round.
The monument influenced the installation of multiple Luther statue castings across the United States, establishing a pattern of Lutheran memorial art.
