Museum Lutherstiege

The Lutherstiege Museum in the church of Saint Anna is an important memorial place of the Augsburg Reformation. It offers its visitors an overview of the most important events and developments of the Reformation and recalls Luther’s refusal to revoke his theses as well as his flight from Augsburg in 1518. The church was part of the Carmelite monastery until its dissolution in 1534.

During the diet of 1518, Martin Luther (1483–1546) lived in the monastery. The 16 stations convey the thematic spectrum of the upheavals prompted by Luther from the Renaissance to the present day and bring the most important stages of his work back to life. One focus is on the meeting and historically decisive conversation between Luther and Cardinal Thomas Cajetan (1469–1534) during the Augsburg Diet of 1518.
