While studying law in Erfurt, Luther felt called into the ministry. He became a monk at an Augustinian Monastery. This room has remained the same as when he was there.
The monks who lived here with Luther as a young monk rotated rooms so they wouldn't feel tied to possessions. They ate out of simple pottery. This was like their prayer room might have been.
The Abby had treasures from antiquity. These are said to be shoes of an apostle.
