Teaching tool


I believe this was a podium used by Luther to teach his seminars on theology at the University of Wittenberg.

  1. Oh for those good ol' days. Glad I didn't have to listen to him as I have read he was a harsh taskmaster!

  7. Pretty fancy I guess Luther wasn't against the Church spending money on meeting places. :)

    1. Well, I believe this lectern was from the university... but still pretty fancy for a protestant!

  9. I bet that podium was much less grand when Martin Luther preached here. And I didn't think Protestants were into paintings in churches.
