Luther had responded to a summons from Emperor Charles V. The emperor had summoned the monk to the Diet of Worms. The reason: Luther was to recant his writings in which he strongly criticized the conditions of the church. Luther's famous quote - put in his mouth - \"Here I stand and can do no other, God help me, Amen,\" describes how he refuses to recant his writings before the Diet. The Reformation then continued to roll.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Walk in Luther's footsteps in Worms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The city celebrated the 500th anniversary of its rejection of the Reformation in 2021 with numerous program items.

For on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his 95 theses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious about how Luther's story can still be (re)experienced in Worms today, I sign up for a historical Luther tour. Shortly afterwards, I meet Ursula Hoffmann in Worms. The tour guide and her colleagues have been offering Luther tours in the city center since 2017.

At that time, the building complex consisted of three parts and was decorated with elaborate inscriptions and paintings as well as a row of arcades. The building developed in the Middle Ages for the citizens of Worms to a kind of symbol of the imperial city freedom and a kind of antithesis to the opposite cathedral. \"When the Bishop of Worms Johann von Dalberg XX, for example, had the cloister in the cathedral renovated, the councilors countered and embellished the facade of the Mint House,\" says Ursula Hoffmann, describing the significance of the Mint House in the tense relationship between the church and the citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210608_110349-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210608_110349-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210608_110349-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210608_110349-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210608_110349-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rheinhessenblog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210608_110349-scaled-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On a touch screen installed in front of the library we look at a drawing of the house to the mint at that time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trinity Church is built in\nbuilt in honor of the reformer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only the city library stands on the site of the former Mint House, but also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worms.de\/de\/web\/luther\/Tourismus\/Luther-Rundgang\/Dreifaltigkeitskirche.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in new tab)\">Reformation Memorial Church of the Holy Trinity<\/a>.
