Overview

Martin Luther, a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation, was born on November 10, 1483, in the small town of Eisleben, situated in the Holy Roman Empire, now part of modern-day Germany. His birth took place during a time of significant political, religious, and social upheaval. The day following his birth, he was baptized in the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, marking the beginning of his long and influential relationship with Christianity. Luther was the eldest son of Hans Luder (later Luther) and Margarethe Lindemann. Hans Luther came from a peasant background but was ambitious and industrious. He worked initially as a miner and eventually became a leaseholder of several mines and smelters in Mansfeld, to which the family moved shortly after Martin's birth. This move reflected Hans's desire for social and economic advancement.Hans was determined to secure a better future for his family, which involved considerable sacrifices and hard work. His aspiration was for Martin to enter the legal profession, a path that promised prestige and financial stability. Margarethe Luther, a devout woman, played a significant role in the religious upbringing of her children, instilling in Martin a deep sense of piety and morality from an early age.
