Medieval Germany

During the 16th century when the Reformation occured, Germany experienced extreme religious division. This religious division added to the tension of political division which had already existed in Germany for several centuries. The greatest reformationist in Germany was Luther. Pictured here is Luther's bedroom chamber. In 1648 when theThirty Years War came to an end, Germany was left in ruinous disunity. [BM] {UA}
