Wooden sculpture of the Augustinian monk and theology professor Martin Luther in the entrance area of the Christus church in the Hamburg district of Wandsbek.
On October 31, 2016, the sculpture created by the motor saw artist Jared Bartz was unveiled at the beginning of the Reformation year.
Martin Luther, O.S.A., (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation.
Luther was ordained to the priesthood in 1507. He came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church; in particular, he disputed the view on indulgences. Luther proposed an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his Ninety-five Theses of 1517. His refusal to renounce all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Holy Roman Emperor.
