Martin Luther had a fascinating association with rooms.

 

• From the room he occupied in the August­inian Monastery at Erfurt, in which he cruelly afflicted himself with multiple penances – but also where he turned from these dead works to read the living Word of God that brought conviction, then conversion, to his soul ...

• Through the room in his house in Collegienstrasse, Wittenberg, where he and Catherine - the love of his life - lived with their six children, where he prayed for them and taught them the Scriptures and the Child's Catechism ...

• To the most famous room of all Luther associations, that little one in the Wartburg Castle where Luther, in hiding as 'Junker Jorge,' performed his epochal work of translating the Bible into the German language.

 

In opening our own 'Reformation Room,' we intend to provide a local resource to which people can come for information about Luther's life and legacy, plus immerse themselves in a little tour that will be sure to impart a considerable flavour of this significant Reformer's achievements under God.
