The oldest museum in Germany and one of the oldest in the world. The birth house and death house of the 16th century Protestant reformer are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List together with sites in Wittenberg.
Martin Luther's Birth House is a building and museum in Eisleben, Germany. The German religious reformer Martin Luther was born there in 1483. However, the actual house in which Luther was born no longer exists, it having been burnt completely to the ground in 1689. A new building was built on the original site and was opened to the public in 1693, although it did not adhere to the original floor plan and size of the former house. An excavation was carried out in 2006, revealing pottery shards and a clay floor from the original house.
