Martin Luther - who was this man?
The professor of theology and great reformer lived from 1483 to 1546. He spent his childhood in the county of Mansfeld. His father was a miner and later also a councillor. Martin Luther attended various schools, most recently the cathedral school in Magdeburg. He then traveled to Erfurt to study the "Seven Liberal Arts". The subjects of grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy were grouped under this heading.
Historians report the following from this period: After visiting his parents, Martin Luther was surprised on his way home to Erfurt by a
was surprised by a heavy thunderstorm. In his fear and panic, he prayed and asked St. Anne for protection. He promised that he would become a monk if he survived the storm. This decided the course of his life in the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt. He later obtained a doctorate in Wittenberg and subsequently also a professorship.
The arts and crafts sheet offered in the store depicts the figure of the reformer Martin Luther very realistically and almost photographically. Individual details, such as clothing, the scroll with the 95 theses and the Bible, which is held on a marbled block, underline the expressive image of the figure of Martin Luther.
The reformer and his 95 theses
In Luther's day, people used letters of indulgence to buy freedom from their sins. This brought in a lot of money for the church. This fact prompted Martin Luther to write his 95 theses, which he published at the castle church in Wittenberg in 1517.
Fun and knowledge acquisition through creative handicrafts
With the Martin Luther craft sheet, young history researchers can usefully broaden their perspective and imagination for historical topics and perhaps also lay the foundation for a small collection of historical figures.
