Eisleben
The city Eisleben, at the time of Luther, was the most important city of Count Mansfeld's holdings.
Here Martin Luther was born on 10 Nov 1483 the son of the miner Hans Luder. The family emigrated from Thuringian Möhra and had rented a house on Langen Gasse (today Lutherstrasse 16) in the Petri quarter. A chamber on the courtyard side of the ground floor served as the birth room of Martin Luther.

His decisive religious enlightenment came during his study of the Letter to the Romans (1515-16) during which time he realized that people receive justice through the grace of God, not through good works:
"For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "The one who is
righteous will live by faith." (Romans 1:17)

On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, Wittenberg, 1520. This pamphlet, with Martin Luther's portrait, first appeared in Latin and was directed against the sacramental system.
Of the seven sacraments, Luther considered only baptism and communion, and to some degree, confession, sacraments of Christ.
http://reformation500.csl.edu/timeline/prelude-on-the-babylonian-captivity-of-the-church/
The priests administer seven sacraments which impart “saving grace” . Without the sacraments the power of the Church is gone.

Luther's Appearance at the Imperial Diet
• Luther's books were placed on a table. He was then asked if they were his works and whether he wanted to recant.
• Luther requested time to think over his reply and the next day he answered:
• "Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen."
•
Luther carried off to the Wartburg
Luther saved by Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony.
As Luther travelled back to Wittenberg, armed horsemen came out of the forest, dragged Luther from his wagon and took him to the Wartburg Castle. The kidnapping had been arranged by Prince Frederick in order to preserve Luther’s life. Despite the Emperor’s decree that anyone helping Luther was subject to the loss of life and property, Frederick risked his throne and life to protect his pastor and professor.

In Luther’s absence on the Wartburg, Andreas Karlstadt and others instituted revolutionary changes, such as removal of images from the churches, the suppression of masses, and the abolition of the law of celibacy. These changes led to growing social unrest.

Luther returned to Wittenberg, and in 8 days
of intensive preaching, renounced many of
Karlstadt’s innovations, stopped the rioting which threatened the
reformation and overshadowed justification
by faith and the the Gospel.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, The man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it
is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same. And He
MUST win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us We will not fear, for God hath willed His
Truth to triumph through us. The prince of Darkness grim, We tremble not for him; his rage we can endure.
For lo! his doom is sure, One little Word shall fell him.
That Word above all earthly powers - No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours, Through Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill;
God's Truth abideth still. His kingdom is forever Amen!!

"The observance of the seventh day was being revived in Luther's time by Carlstadt" (Dr. White, Bishop of Ely ,Treatise of the Sabbath, page 8).
"Carlstadt held to the Divine authority of the Sabbath from the Old Testament.“ Sears' Life of Luther, page 402
''Indeed, if Carlstadt were to write further about the Sabbath, Sunday would have to give way, and the Sabbath—that is to say, Saturday—must be kept holy.“ Luther, Against the Celestial
Prophets, quoted in “Life of Martin Luther in Pictures,” page 147.

However, this, I say, is not so restricted to any time, as with the Jews, that it must be just on this or that day; for in itself no one day is better than another; but this should indeed be done daily; however, since the masses cannot give such attendance, there must be at least one day in the week set apart.But since from of old Sunday [the Lord's Day] has been appointed for this purpose, we also should continue the same, in order that everything be done in harmonious order, and no one create disorder by unnecessary innovation.

On the Jews and Their Lies by Martin Luther
Luther argued that the Jews were no longer the chosen people but "the devil's people": he referred to them with violent, vile language.[ Luther advocated setting synagogues on fire, destroying Jewish prayer books, forbidding rabbis from preaching, seizing Jews' property and money, and smashing up their homes, so that these "poisonous envenomed worms" would be forced into labour or expelled "for all time"https:/ /de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_und_die_Juden#/media/File:1543

In his later years, Luther's health deteriorated badly and his writings became coarse and vitriolic. His Against the Papacy at Rome Founded by the Devil of 1545 is especially vulgar
What God thinks of the papacy
From the mid-1530s on, Luther suffered from gout, headaches, high blood pressure, heart issues (angina), poor circulation, hemorrhoids, and kidney stones, not to mention the Anfechtungen (assaults of the devil, depression etc)

Martin Luther told Lucas Cranach to illustrate Luther’s Against the Papacy at Rome, Founded by the Devil (March 1545). Luther told him what to depict. “The cartoon shows the Pope and three cardinals being expelled from the anus of a female devil while three furies are nursing and caring for three infant popes . . . a graphic echo of Luther's assertion in his treatise that the pope had been born from the devil's behind."

Language and Lack of Control of the Tongue
Luther described Catholics as "the devil's whore-church" (Grisar, IV, 288) who "stuff our mouths with horse-dung" (Grisar, IV, 321)
Luther's typical descriptions of various Catholics: Crowned donkey, abandoned, senseless man, excrement of hogs and asses, impudent royal windbag, arrant fool. (Grisar, IV, 302; describing King Henry VIII)
Liar, mad bloodhound, murderer, traitor, assassin of souls, arch-knave, dirty pig and devil's child, nay, the devil himself. (Grisar, IV, 302; describing Joachim I, Elector of Brandenburg)
Mad, bloodthirsty murderer, a blind and hardened donkey, who ought to be put to scratch for dung-beetles in the manure-heaps of the Papists. (Grisar, IV, 302; describing Hoogstraaten, a Cologne Dominican)
