Martin Luther and the Reformation are a significant part of the history of the city of Worms. This connection began in 1521 when Martin Luther was invited to Worms by Charles V, former Holy Roman Emperor, to retract his writings on the Reformation. Luther's refusal to retract in Worms left a lasting impact worldwide, shaping history up to our present day.
The City Museum of Worms at the Andreasstift explores, in its newly arranged 2023 exhibition cabinet 'Here I Stand!,' Luther's historically significant appearance in 1521 as part of the history of Worms. The events before, during, and after Luther's refusal to recant are vividly presented in the exhibition. In addition to the exhibition section about Martin Luther, you can admire an extensive collection of exhibits in the museum, making the history of Worms from the Neolithic period to the present day tangible.
In addition to the exhibition at the City Museum of Worms, you can also get to know Luther through numerous interactive experiences outside the museum walls and better understand his time in Worms. For example, during a guided tour through the city, Worms tour guides will bring you closer to Luther's connection with the city on the Rhine. If you prefer to embark on a self-guided exploration, you can follow the Luther Trail or use the "Worms erleben" app to discover the most significant locations.
