The Lutherstein is located in the Dübener Heide on the east side of the B2 federal highway between the towns of Bad Düben and Kemberg, about ten kilometers from each. The stone is located on a slightly elevated area covered with oak and linden trees. There is a parking lot next to it.

The Luther Stone measures approximately two by one meter. It is made of biotite-containing granite. Its composition makes it a so-called bowl stone, meaning that the heavily weathered surface has irregularly distributed depressions. These have sometimes been interpreted as Bronze Age representations of the sky.[2]

More clearly, although difficult to decipher, is an inscription carved on the stone: "A Mighty Fortress is God." It is said to have been installed in 1817 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Reformation, as was the design of the area surrounding the stone. Other, even harder to find letters "D.M.L." refer to Dr. Martin Luther.[2]
