The impressive half-timbered house was built around 1520. Martin Luther stayed here in February 1537 for the most important meeting of the Schmalkaldic League and published his Schmalkaldic Articles. The permanent exhibition "Making a State with Faith - Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous 1504-1567" can be seen in the so-called Luther Apartment. The Hessian Landgrave was a leading political pioneer of the Reformation, co-founder of the Schmalkaldic League and introduced the Reformation in Schmalkalden as early as 1525. Guided tours available all year round by appointment at the Tourist Information Office, duration approx. 45 minutes. Information on Luther House Schmalkalden

Luther stayed in this house for a few days during his stay at the meeting of the Schmalkalden League in 1537. The house has been lovingly restored and today houses a bookstore.

In 1865, the Elisabeth School was built between the inner and outer city walls as a 'higher girls' school', consisting of the school building, the gym and a school yard with sports facilities. Rebuilt several times and used for different purposes, the building ensemble is now in private hands and was completely renovated and reopened in 2015 as an old school. It is now a place for conferences, dance training and social highlights.
