In 2017 it will be the 500th anniversary of the posting of the "95 Thesis" on the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Just as Eisenach, Eisleben and Wartburg Castle the city of Worms will be an important stop. The Luther Denkmal has all the important "Reformers" including the pre-Reformers. This is a "Must See" for any Religious Historian.
My family moved to Worms in the mid 1970s just when I began Lutheran confirmation classes. My parents continued my education by visiting places I would have merely studied about in a classroom 5,000 miles away. The Iron Curtain was still up at the time and we were unable to see the sites in the former East Germany, but the experience made the history come alive for me as a teenager.
The title of the review speaks for itself. The memorial is a whole lot interesting than the Dom and the Magnus Kirche. I have written a review covering those two items, no sense repeating it here.
A monument with Dr Martin Luther’s legendary words in Worms: "Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me. Amen."The figures in the memorial include Martin Luther, and other important people related to the Protestant movement.
As with my other reviews with things in Worms, first things first: If you're interested in Christian/religious history, Worms is a good place to stop. If not, Worms probably won't impress you.This was cool to see. As I mentioned in another post, if you're truly interested in Christian history, especially dealing with martin Luther, don't miss Wittenberg (Luther's house, church, and university), and Wartburg Castle in Eisenach. On the base of the statue is written, "Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders, Gott helfe mir! Amen!" Which translates to the famous, "Here I stand, I can do no other, God help me! Amen!" (Wikipedia reports that early witness reports don't include this phrase, but that's the only source I could find for NOT attributing these words to Luther.)
Wer sich für Historisches interessiert kommt am Lutherdenkmal nicht vorbei. Worms, die Nibelungenstadt hat halt irgendwie auch noch den Luther abbekommen.
Etant souvent de passage à Worms j'ai vu ce monument à de multiples reprises. Il est impressionnant et c'est une occasion pour nous Français de se rappeler ce que fut la Réforme que nous connaissons en France uniquement à cause des guerres de religion.Le monument est colossal, coloré et significatif de la culture allemande.Comme la petite ville de Worms est magnifique à visiter n'oubliez pas ce monument. Vous réviserez vos cours d'Histoire sur Luther, qui condamné par la Diète, a commencé ici de répandre le Protestantisme.
Nesta praça encontra-se o Memorial de Lutero, onde se pode encontrar as estátuas dos Grandes Reformistas da Igreja, como Martinho Lutero, John Hus, Savanarola, entre outros, que mudaram para sempre a história do Cristianismo.
Sehr zu empfehlen mit einer Stadtführung, denn da erfährt man einiges über den Martin Luther und weitere Figuren und über die Geschichte und Bedeutung von Worms
Hier finden sich die großen Reformatoren in einer beeindruckend zusammengestellten Gruppe. Wenn man nicht nur die Figuren als solche sehen will sondern auch an der Geschichte hinter diesen Personen interessiert ist, sollte man sich unbedingt einen Führer gönnen. Ich habe das bereits mehrere Male mit Freunden von auswärts getan, und es war jedesmal schade, wenn die Führer mit ihren Erläuterungen am Ende angelangt waren.
