Eisleben Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide

Eisleben is a city drenched in history and traditions. This former mining town focuses almost exclusively on its native son, Martin Luther. The great German reformer Dr. Martin Luther was born and died in Eisleben. The house where he was born, the house where he died, the church where he was baptized, St. Anna church and St. Andreas church are among the most important Luther sights in Eisleben. Everywhere you turn, it’s Luther, Luther, and Luther. But the city has plenty more to offer besides the Luther sights: the monastery Helfta, the copper mining sites, the famous Eisleben Fair, numerous churches, monuments and museums. Eisleben is also home to unique attractions that afford a rare, intimate look at Luther’s formative childhood years. Join us to find all about the Reformation in the place where Luther’s life began!

We will begin at Luther’s Birthplace, which has been a museum since 1693 and one of the oldest UNESCO World Heritage sites of the world. This is home to the permanent exhibition “Where I come from – Martin Luther and Eisleben”. Here we will tell you about Martin Luther’s beginnings with views of original artifacts like Luther’s original baptismal font from 1518.

Let us continue to Luther’s Death House, another UNESCO site and a late-Gothic reconstruction of the original house. It houses today a museum dedicated to Martin Luther and the Reformation. The exhibition called “Luther’s Last Path” has over 100 authentic exhibits, including historic furniture, documents, signatures, and even the original cloth that covered Luther’s coffin.

Next we will move on to the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul where the great reformer was baptized on November 11, 1483. The font where he was baptized still exists but a newer “Luther Font” was made in his honour inside the redecorated gothic interior of the church, serving the purpose of reflection upon one’s faith.

For the end of our tour, we will get a chance to admire the two spires of St. Andrew’s Church. The building itself is mentioned in chronicles in the 12th century and was Martin Luther’s final stage, a pulpit from where he gave his last four sermons, with eleven narrow steps. This pulpit is still in use for large religious ceremonies.
