Martin Luther plot
Portrait of Martin Luther (Lambert Hamel) set in the period from 1502 to 1521. As a monk, and later as a priest, the system of indulgences by Tetzel (Michael Habeck) is against Luther. He has far-reaching democratic ideas, such as the separation of state and church, which are way ahead of their time. In 1517, at the age of 34, he hammered his 95 theses on the church door in Wittenberg and all hell broke loose over his proposals for reform. He has to answer to Kardinal Cajetan (Ernst Fritz Fürbringer), the envoy of Pope Leo X (Dieter Pfaff), who promptly bans him and Luther's writings are publicly burned. The young emperor Charles V also gets involved when Luther turns out to be incorrigible...
