Explore Eisleben, the birthplace and deathbed of Martin Luther, on a focused 90-minute private walking tour led by a local guide. This former mining town is saturated with Reformation history, featuring Luther's birth and death houses, his baptism church, and multiple other sites tied to the reformer's life and legacy.
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!
