Luthers Bed-room, in the Citadel of Coburg, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Luthers Bed-room, in the Citadel of Coburg, 1845. The room in which [Martin] Luther slept is preserved more in its integrity...several relics of his residence are still existing. His bedstead, broken and decayed, a few boards once belonging to it, and some fragments of a chair stand in the same position they occupied three centuries ago, when the stout frame of the overthrower of an ancient faith sunk upon them exhausted by mental labour. The zeal of the Pilgrims to this shrine has been sadly destructive of the objects venerated; the posts of the bed are cut and hacked to half their original size, and the process is still going on; the German guides are even less respectful than the visitors, and have no scruple whatever in slicing off a piece as coolly as they would chop a billet of fire-wood. There is an ordinary stove in the room, and a bust of Luther stands on a table.... From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history within Luther's Bed-room, located in the Citadel of Coburg. Taken in 1845 by an unknown creator, this image transports us back to a time when Martin Luther's presence filled these walls with his revolutionary ideas. Preserved meticulously, this room offers a glimpse into Luther's life and legacy. The worn-out bedstead on which he once rested now stands broken and decayed, bearing witness to the mental labor that exhausted him. Several relics from his residence still exist; fragments of a chair and boards belonging to his bedstead remain in their original positions after three centuries. However, it is disheartening to learn that the zeal of pilgrims visiting this sacred space has taken its toll on these revered objects. The posts of Luther's bed have been cut and hacked down to half their original size, an ongoing process fueled by both visitors and German guides who show little respect for historical preservation. Amidst this scene lies an ordinary stove serving as a reminder of everyday life within these hallowed walls. A bust of Luther proudly stands upon a table, symbolizing his enduring influence even centuries later. Through this print from "Illustrated London News" in 1845, we are transported back in time to witness the remnants of Martin Luther's existence - a testament to his profound impact on religious reform and human history itself.
