    Katharina von Bora, known by her marriage as Katharina Luther (* January 29, 1499 in Lippendorf; † December 20, 1552 in Torgau), was a Saxon noblewoman and Cistercian nun. At the age of 26, she married the German reformer Martin Luther.

    In the summer of 1552, Katharina von Bora fled the plague with her daughter Margarete and left Wittenberg. On the way to Torgau, Katharina was injured in an accident. She died on December 20th from her injuries and was buried in St. Mary's Church in Torgau.
