Augustinerkloster Erfurt
Monastery in Erfurt, Germany
St. Augustine's Monastery (German: Augustinerkloster) in Erfurt, central Germany, is a former church and friary complex dating from the 13th century. The site is almost one hectare (2.5 acres) in size. It was built by Augustinian friars, an order of the Catholic Church. It is most well known as the former home of Martin Luther (1483–1546), the father of the Reformation, who lived there as a friar from 1505 until 1511. About 74 ordained and 70 lay brothers lived at the friary at its peak in the early 16th century. After the Reformation, from 1525 the friary church was used by the local Lutheran
