EislebenPLUS
A visit to Eisleben will spice up your historic tour. Martin Luther came into the world on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben. He was baptised the following day in St. Peter's Church. The unassuming town house where he was born, also from the 15th century, was largely destroyed when a fire swept through Eisleben in 1689. The building was later rebuilt by the council. An exhibition for Lutheran pilgrims was opened, which makes the house one of the oldest museums in the German-speaking world.
