Luthergedenkplaatsen in Eisleben en Wittenberg
De plaatsen Eisleben en Wittenberg in Saksen-Anhalt zijn verbonden met het leven van Maarten Luther en zijn collega-hervormer Melanchthon. In Eisleben staan de huizen waar Luther in 1483 werd geboren en in 1546 overleed. In Wittenberg staat het Lutherhuis - waar hij 40 jaar woonde en werkte - en het nauwelijks veranderde huis van Melanchthon. Verder vindt men er de stadskerk en de slotkapel waar Luther op 31 oktober 1517 zijn beroemde 95 stellingen op de deur sloeg. Dit gaf de aanzet tot de Reformatie en was het begin van een nieuw tijdperk in de religieuze en politieke geschiedenis van de westerse wereld.

Integrity
The Luther Memorials in Wittenberg and Eisleben include all elements necessary to express the Outstanding Universal Value of a faith movement of world importance. The component parts of the serial property are of adequate size to ensure the features and processes of this historic period convey the significance of the property.
Authenticity
The close association of these inscribed buildings with the Lutheran Church and their role as memorials to the Reformation has meant that they have been the object of a variety of restoration and reconstruction projects over more than four centuries. Some of these have resulted in the embellishment of the buildings for the greater glory of the Reformation and its figures, while other projects consciously sought to return the buildings to the state they were in when the great Reformers were alive. ln terms of strict modern conservation practices, some of the past interventions may be considered to have had an adverse effect on the historical authenticity of the buildings. However, it might also be argued that those activities carried out in the 19th and early 20th centuries have a historical value of their own, and the spiritual meaning of this group of buildings must be taken into account. While most of the past interventions would not be practiced today, these actions were carried out for religious motivations rather than the buildings’ historical preservation. However, it is now certain that recent interventions have been – and those in the future shall be – conducted entirely in accordance with the accepted principles and methods of modern conservation.
Protection and management requirements
All the buildings included in this serial property are protected as single monuments under the legislation of State of Saxony-Anhalt, which requires that any work that may affect their status or condition be authorised by the competent provincial authority.
