This is Wartburg Castle in Eisenach. It was built in the 13th century. Besides Luther making it famous, it was also the home of St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
This is the Luther Haus in Eisenach. He moved there with his family when he was a boy. He attended high school in Eisenach.
Notice the wood and plaster off the wall? Legend has it that Luther saw the devil while he was translating the Bible and threw his ink bottle at the devil. The ink hit the wall. People for the next generation picked off pieces of the inked wall as souvenirs.
