Motherland of the Reformation. Group Offers Motherland of the reforMation. Group offers. When Martin Luther was born on 10 November 1483, Saxony was at the height of its power. Since 1464, Elector Ernst and his brother Albert had together been ruling the most powerful country in the centre of the Holy German Empire. But just two years after Luther’s birth, Ernst and Albert made the biggest mistake in Saxony’s history: they split up the land. The ruling Wettin dynasty was divided into two lines, the Ernestine and Albertine. Now there were two countries with the name Saxony, the Electorate and the Duchy, and it was the sons of Ernst and Albert who played the most important, albeit different, roles in the life of Martin Luther and for the course of the Reformation. While the ducal Albertines made Dresden their new residence, Torgau became the centre of power under the electoral Ernes- tines. After the Albertines had taken the electoral dignity off the Ernestines, their strongly augmented Saxony, which by then also comprised Torgau and Wittenberg, the “Mother of Reformation”, had the leading role among the Protestant regions of Germany for a very long time and made for the consolidation and advancement of the Reformation. At the end of the 16th century, Saxony had already been given the honorary title “Motherland of the Reformation”, a legacy to which also the current federal state declares itself.

A few days later, he entered the monastery of the Augustinian Hermits out of gratitude for his salvation, where he was ordained to the priesthood in 1507. A year later he went to study at the University of Wittenberg where he lived in the newly built Augustinian monastery. In 1514, Luther was appointed Prior Provincial of his order. In this role in 1516, Luther visited numerous monasteries of his order and thus also came to Dresden and his town of birth Eisleben.

  • The Japanese Palace in Dresden: a Highlight of European 18Th-Century
    都市と伝統的文化 The ‘Japanese Palace’ in Dresden: A Highlight of European 18th-century Craze for East-Asia. Cordula BISCHOFF Dresden, seat of government and capital of present-day federal state Saxony, now benefits more than any other German city from its past as a royal residence. Despite war-related destructions is the cityscape today shaped by art and architecture with a history of 500 years. There is possibly no other place in Germany where to find so many exceptional artworks concentrated in such a small area. This accumulation is a result of the continuosly increasing significance of the Dresden court and a gain in power of the Saxon Wettin dynasty. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a conglomeration of more than 350 large and tiny territories. The 50 to 100 leading imperial princes struggled in a constant competition to maintain their positions. 1) In 1547 the Saxon Duke Moritz(1521-1553)was declared elector. Thus Saxony gained enormous political significance, as the seven, in 18th century nine electors, were the highest-ranking princes. They elected the Roman-German emperor and served as his innermost councils. The electors of Saxony and of the Palatinate were authorised to represent the emperor in times of vacancy. At the same time in 16th century Saxony rose due to its silver mining industry to one of the richest German territorial states. 2) In the second half of the 17th century the Saxon court even counted among the most important European courts. A peak of political power was reached under Frederick August(us)I.
