Martin Luther was born on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany. His parents Hans and Maragarette Luther were of peasant origin, but Hans had some success as a miner and ore smelter. In 1484 the Luthers moved to nearby Mansfeld, where Hans had prosperous ore deposits. Hans knew that mining was a tough business and wanted his son to have a more promising fortune and become a lawyer. At the age of seven, Martin Luther entered the local school in Mansfeld. At the age of 14, Martin Luther moved north to Magdeburg to continue his studies. Then, in 1498, the young man returned to Mansfeld to enroll in a school where he studied grammar, rhetoric and logic. He later compared this experience to purgatory and hell. In 1501, Martin Luther entered the University of Erfurt where he received a Master of Arts degree. At that time, it seemed pretty obvious that Mr. Luther was on his way to becoming a lawyer. However, in July 1505, Luther had a life-changing experience that set his life on a new path. He was caught in a horrible storm where he feared for his life, so Luther cried out to Saint Anne, the patroness of miners: “Save me, Saint Anne, and I will become a monk!” The storm then passed and his life was saved. His decision to become a monk was difficult and greatly disappointed his father, but to him, a promise is a promise. Martin Luther also feared hell and the wrath of God, so he believed that life in a monastery would help him seek salvation. The first years in the monastery were difficult, he did not seek the spiritual enlightenment he was looking for. At the age of 27, Martin Luther had the opportunity to serve as a delegate to a church conference in Rome. He was very disappointed and discouraged by ...... in the middle of the newspaper ...... and many followers and was even able to gain the support of a German prince. When a peasant revolt broke out in 1524, Luther denounced the peasants and sided with the leaders he depended on to keep his church growing. Despite the excess number of deaths, Luther's church continued to grow. From 1533 until his death in 1546, Martin Luther served as dean of theology at the University of Wittenberg. During this period, Mr. Luther suffered from illness, including arthritis, heart problems, and digestive disorders, and perhaps the physical and emotional pain he experienced as a fugitive is reflected in his writings. Some of his later works contained inappropriate and offensive language used against many segments of society, particularly Jews and Muslims. During a trip to his hometown, Eisleben, he died two days ago, on February 18, 1546, at the age of 62.
