Katharina von Bora

the wife of Martin Luther

1499 CE to 1552 CE

Katharina von Bora, referred to as "die Lutherin" (January 29, 1499 – December 20, 1552), is the wife of Martin Luther, German leader of the Protestant Reformation.

Beyond what is found in the writings of Luther and some of his contemporaries, little is known about her.

Despite this, Katharina is often considered one of the most important participants of the Reformation because of her role in helping to define Protestant family life and setting the tone for clergy marriages.
