Coburg FortressThis well-preserved medieval fortress is where Martin Luther hid while his delegate Melancthon drew up the Augsburg Confession. It is also the birthplace of Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.
ErfurtThis charming medieval town is where Luther went to university and lived as a monk. You can visit Luther's monastic cell in the Augustinerkloster, where he nearly killed himself with austeries trying to earn God's forgiveness.

LeipzigHere on June 27 and July 16, 1519, Martin Luther debated with John Eck. This led to the Papal ban of June 15, 1520.
WittenbergWittenberg is where Luther lived most of his life. The main attraction here is the Castle Church, where Luther sparked the Reformation by posting his famous 95 Theses. The house where Luther and his family lived is well-preserved and full of Reformation relics, including Luther's desk, his pulpit, and first editions of his books. A few doors down is Melanchthon's house, and just out of town is the Luther Oak, where Luther cowered during a thunderstorm and vowed to become a monk if he survived.
WormsHere the Imperial Council passed judgment on Luther in 1521. In 1521, Luther appeared before the Holy Roman Emperor at the Imperial Diet of Worms and refused to recant his beliefs. Though the building where this occurred no longer stands, a plaque marks the spot and there is a grand Reformation memorial nearby.
