Katharina von Bora: The Woman Behind Martin Luther | Protestant Reformation

Discover the extraordinary true story of Katharina von Bora, Martin Luther's wife, and her remarkable journey from a Cistercian convent to the heart of the Protestant Reformation in 16th-century Germany.

Born in Saxony in 1499, Katharina entered convent life as a child. But as Martin Luther's teachings spread throughout Germany, she began questioning the future she had always known.

In 1523, Katharina escaped her convent with eight other nuns. Two years later, she married Martin Luther, the German theologian whose writings helped ignite the Protestant Reformation.

Their marriage became one of the most significant partnerships in Reformation history.

She was a devoted mother, an extraordinary household manager, a woman of courage, and an essential part of the daily life surrounding the German Reformation.
