Martin Luther's Birth House
Martin Luther's Birth House, Museum and cultural heritage site in Lutherstadt Eisleben, Germany.
The three-story building features traditional German architecture with a distinctive Supraporte above the main entrance displaying Martin Luther's portrait.
After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1689, the current house was constructed in 1693 and opened to preserve the birthplace of Protestant reformer Martin Luther.
The museum presents 250 artifacts from the 13th to 19th centuries, including Luther's baptism basin from 1518 and medieval mining reliefs.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tours through 13 themed rooms across 700 square meters of exhibition space.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 uncovered pottery fragments and clay flooring remnants from the original 15th-century house where Luther was born.
