City in Germany where the Protestant Reformation originated?

Question

the fourth letter is a "t"

Answer 1

Wittenberg

Answer 2

Wittenberg.

Quoting from the web page below about Martin Luther:

"On 31 October 1517 Luther wrote to Albert, Archbishop of Mainz and Magdeburg, protesting the sale of indulgences in his episcopal territories and inviting him to a disputation on the matter. He enclosed the 95 Theses, a copy of which, according to tradition, he posted the same day on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg."

Answer 3

The actual answer to this question is difficult to come by. The "Reformation" was well underway by the time that Martin Luther took out his tack hammer.

It is said that "Erasmus of Rotterdam laid the egg that Martin Luther hatched." But then there were those way prior to either of them that were begging for reformation within the church - Dante, for instance - long before Luther and Erasmus.

There was Wycliff in England, Hus in either germany or Switzerland and about two hundred more movements afoot before Luther was even a smile on his father's face.

So the city named by so many responders might fill your crossword puzzle out, but it ain't right.

Answer 4

Wittenberg. Martin Luther posted his 95 theses upon the church door. Some may say that the Reformation truly began at Augsburg. The "Confession of Augsburg" of 1530. The princes of Germany agreed on cuius regium euis religiionam. "Whose the rule, his the religion."

Answer 5

Wittenberg of course. That's where Martin Luther posted the 95 thesis.
