Martin Luther's Birth House () is a building and museum in Eisleben, Germany. The German religious reformer Martin Luther was born there in 1483. However, the actual house in which Luther was born no longer exists, it having been burnt completely to the ground in 1689. A new building was built on the original site and was opened to the public in 1693, although it did not adhere to the original floor plan and size of the former house.Ausgrabung durch das Landesamt für Denkmalpflege und Archäologie Sachsen-Anhalt, Grabungsleitung Ch.
