Luther Monument Worms

A mighty monument for a brave man.

There will probably not be such a large Luther monument again. The whole area with the space in front of it looks very nice.

The flanking people sitting below the reformer include Petrus Waldus, John Wyclif, Jan Hus and Girolamo Savonarola.

Elector Frederick the Wise and Philip the Magnanimous as protectors of Luther, as well as Johannes Reuchlin and Philipp Melanchthon are depicted on the surrounding wall. Allegories can also be seen that refer to historical events of the Reformation. These are the “Augsburg with the Peace Palm”, with reference to the Confessio Augustana from 1530 and the Augsburg Peace and Religious Peace of 1555, the “Protestant Speyer”, with reference to the Reichstag of Speyer in 1529, and the “Mourning Magdeburg” with Reference to the destruction and looting of Magdeburg in 1631 in the Thirty Years' War by the Catholic League under Johann T'Serclaes von Tilly.
