The Martin Luther Memorial. On October 31st, we celebrate Reformation Day in Germany. In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Castle Church in Wittenberg on this day. A few years later, as is known from some articles, on November 15th, 1530, Weißenburg voted in favor of the Reformation by 450 votes to 8. Today, Martin Luther Square, named after him, next to St. Andrew's Church, and the monument standing there commemorate this.
