This building, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has undergone extensive renovation and reconstruction. Upon completion, it now functions as a museum, offering both permanent exhibitions and a venue for a variety of themed displays.
Historical records indicate that the original building underwent two significant foundation repairs, completed by Friedrich August Ritter in 1868 and Friedrich Wanderer in 1894.
The main entrance and key functional rooms were relocated to the new structure, allowing maximum preservation of the original building’s infrastructure.

The newly constructed sections, clearly distinct in volume and structure, exhibit a modern and independent character. Despite this, they remain strongly influenced by the original building’s environment. This is evident in the striking contrast between the preserved facade of the original structure and the new main entrance, as well as the notable differences in size and height between the old and new parts.
With the new and old buildings harmoniously integrated, exploring the museum becomes a delightful experience. Visitors can enjoy the variety of exhibitions while also witnessing the museum’s own historical transformation, symbolized by the permanent exhibition titled “Luther’s Last/Final WAY.”
