-The South Tower was built in 1318. About 1/3 of the way up you can see a door hidden in the shadows, that is the top of the dungeon pit where they threw prisoners.  One such prisoner was Fritz Erbe, an early Anabaptist who was imprisoned from 1540 until his death in 1548, for refusing to baptize his children as infants.  The Anabaptists, who believed in adult baptism, gave rise to the Amish and Mennonites.  Interestingly, we have an Erbe in our Ungerecht family tree, but we're probably not related to Fritz.

 {{ :un:2016_de_wart49_lutherroom.jpg?direct&210|Luther's room}}
 Martin Luther spent quite a bit of time in Eisenach, and after the Catholic church rejected his proposal for change and excommunicated him in 1521, he fled here.  This is the room where he spent most of his time, working on a German translation of the Bible.  The whale vertebra is original to his time here.
