    The Luther monument in front of the merchant church is located on the Anger in the center of Erfurt. Luther lived in Erfurt between 1501 and 1511, studied at the University of Erfurt and was a monk in the Augustinian monastery.

      The statue shows the Reformer with the open Bible in his left hand. However, the right does not point to a specific scripture, but only accesses the book. The facial expression is less teaching and self-confessed than discovering and wondering - as he may have read and learned in Erfurt. The pedestal shows three stations from the life of the Reformer: Luther as a student, Luther's entrance to the monastery, and the festive reception at the university on April 6, 1521. The obverse shows the Bible verse, "I will not die, but live and proclaim the Lord's work "(Wikipedia).

        Luther studied from 1501-1511 in Erfurt, and was a monk in Augustinerkloster. In his honor, the 6 m high monument was inaugurated in 1889.
