Museum Lutherstiege | St. Anna, Augsburg
Ein besonderer Ort: Das Museum Lutherstiege
Im ehemaligen Karmeliterkloster St. Anna in Augsubrg ereignete sich Weltgeschichte: Martin Luther wohnte 1518 hier, als er sich unter Todesgefahr endgültig zu seinen 95 Thesen bekannte. Warum geschah dies in Augsburg? Wer waren Luthers Gegner, wer die Freunde? Warum eroberte seine Lehre so schnell das Land? Was hatten Drucker und Künstler damit zu tun? Welche Kriege, welcher Frieden, welche Machtverschiebungen
waren die Folge? Diese Fragen und viele mehr beantwortet das Museum Lutherstiege.

A special place: The Lutherstiege Museum
The former Carmelite monastery St. Anna was the site of world history in the making: Martin Luther lived here when, in mortal danger, he irrevocably professed his 95 theses. Why did this take place in Augsburg? Who were Luther's opponents, his friends? Why did his doctrine conquer the country so quickly? What did printers and artists have to do with it? What war, what peace, what power shifts resulted? The Lutherstiege Museum answers these questions and many more.

Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany )
Augsburg, Bavaria is one of Germany’s oldest cities. The varied architecture in its center includes medieval guild houses, the 11th-century St. Mary's cathedral and the onion-domed Sankt Ulrich und Afra abbey. Key Renaissance buildings are the Augsburger Town Hall with its Golden Hall. The Fuggerhaüser is the seat of a wealthy banking dynasty and the Fuggerei is a 16th-century social housing complex.
The largest city on the Romantic Road (and Bavaria's third largest), Augsburg is also one of Germany’s oldest, founded by the stepchildren of Roman emperor Augustus over 2000 years ago. As an independent city state from the 13th century, it was also one of its wealthiest, free to raise its own taxes, with public coffers bulging on the proceeds of the textile trade. Banking families such as the Fuggers and the Welsers even bankrolled entire countries and helped out the odd skint monarch. However, from the 16th century, religious strife and economic decline plagued the city. Augsburg finally joined the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806.
Shaped by Romans, medieval artisans, bankers, traders and, more recently, industry and technology, this attractive city of spires and cobbles is an easy day trip from Munich or an engaging stop on the Romantic Road, though one with a grittier, less quaint atmosphere than others along the route.
Augsburg lies at the convergence of the Alpine rivers Lech and Wertach and on the Singold. The oldest part of the city and the southern quarters are on the northern foothills of a high terrace, which emerged between the steep rim of the hills of Friedberg in the east and the high hills of the west. In the south extends the Lechfeld, an outwash plain of the post ice age between the rivers Lech and Wertach, where rare primeval landscapes were preserved. The Augsburg city forest and the Lech valley heaths today rank among the most species-rich middle European habitats.

Die katholische Lutherstadt Augsburg - Unterwegs auf Luthers Spuren
Es gibt Stimmen, die behaupten, in Augsburg habe die Reformation erst richtig begonnen. Luthers Disput mit Cajetan, der hier stattfand, war zumindest ein tiefer Einschnitt. Eine Spurensuche.

Lutherstadt Augsburg
Augsburg ist ein wichtiger Ort in der Erinnerungskultur der Reformation. Luther traf hier den päpstlichen Gesandten Cajetan. 1530 wurden auf Reichstagen die Confessio Augustana beziehungsweise 1555 (nach dem Tod Luthers) der Augsburger Religionsfriede geschlossen. Ein film von Axel Mölkner-Kappl.
Fuggerkapelle in St. Anna
St. Anna ist eine der berühmtesten Kirchen in Augsburg. Sie ist ein Symbol für die Reformation und für ökumenische Bemühungen – und war eine der ersten evangelischen Kirchen in Augsburg: Zu Weihnachten 1525 wurde hier der erste evangelische Gottesdienst gefeiert. In St. Anna befindet sich die Fuggerkapelle, gestiftet von Jakob Fugger dem Reichen. Er, der wie die ganze Familie stets dem katholischen Glauben treu blieb, hatte 8 Tage vor seinem Tod am 30. Dezember 1525 noch verfügt, dass er in der Fuggerkapelle bestattet werden wolle. Eine schwierige Situation, die eine salomonische Lösung verlangte.
Annakirche vor Wiedereröffnung
Im 14Jahrhundert bauten Karmelitenmönche in Augsburg die Kirche St. Anna. Sie zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Kirchenbauwerken in Augsburg. Die Fugger ließen sich hier eine Grabkapelle errichten, sie beherbergt Werke bedeutender deutscher Maler wie Lucas Cranach des Älteren und der Reformator Martin Luther wohnte hier, bevor er sich vor dem päpstlichen Nuntius weigerte seine Thesen zu widerrufen. Nach langer Sanierung kann diese bedeutende Augsburger Kirche nun am Sonntag wiedereröffnet werden. Und das ist wirklich etwas ganz besonderes, denn die Gemeinde ging auch unkonventionelle Wege um die 7 Millionen Euro für die Sanierung zusammen zu bekommen.

Cajetan and the Canon
Response to Mr. William Albrecht regarding Cajetan and the Canon. Cajetan was a Roman Catholic cardinal who opposed Luther as an official representative of Rome, but who also held to the same canon as Protestants do today. This clip discusses that issue as well as a few related issues.
