Die Großen Schuhe Luthers, Bronze memorial in Heylshof Garden, Worms, Germany.
Two large bronze shoes stand in a garden setting, marking the exact location where Martin Luther defended his beliefs in 1521.
The memorial commemorates the Diet of Worms where Luther refused to retract his writings, leading to his excommunication from the Catholic Church.
The bronze footprints encourage visitors to stand in Luther's position, creating a physical connection to the Protestant Reformation's pivotal moment.
The memorial features wheelchair-accessible paths throughout the garden and includes informational plaques in multiple languages for international visitors.
Created in 2017, the shoes allow people to physically step into the position where Luther made his declaration against religious authority.
