Augustinian Monastery
Augustinerkloster Erfurt
The monastery where Martin Luther lived and studied from 1505 to 1511. You can see the monk's cell he occupied and medieval stained glass.
The Augustinian Monastery was founded in the 13th century. There, the young Martin Luther became a monk and studied theology, and it later became one of the starting points of the Reformation. Guided tours cover the cloister, the medieval stained glass windows in the church, a Luther exhibition and a restored monk's cell. The monastery also offers accommodation and conference facilities. The church is free to enter, while the exhibition and guided tour cost about 8 euros. It is about a 5-minute walk from Merchants' Bridge.
