    Martin Luther, Weißenburg
    The Martin Luther Monument. On October 31st, we celebrate Reformation Day in Germany. In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Castle Church in Wittenberg on this day. A few years later, as is known from some posts, Weißenburg decided in favor of the Reformation on November 15th, 1530, with 450 votes to 8. Today, the Martin Luther Platz, named after him, next to the St. Andreas Church, and the monument standing on it, remind us of this.
