This is where Martin Luther met his spiritual mentor Johann von Staupitz on August 6, 1516. The "Luther was here" campaign collects various places in Saxony-Anhalt where Martin Luther stayed, is said to have stayed, or where Luther legends are associated.

On the homepage you can follow Luther's life and find an overview of all these places.

Himmelpforten was visited by Martin Luther in 1516, where he met with his brother and friend, the Vicar General Johann von Staupitz.
There is no evidence that the sale of indulgences was discussed.
The Luther memorial stone erected in 1917 commemorates the meeting.
