The Castle Church is most famous because of the Reformer Martin Luther. He studied Theology in Wittenberg from 1508 and in 1512 became Doctor of Theology. Later he lectured at Wittenberg University. In October 1517 Martin Luther published 95 Theses against the Catholic Church’s selling of indulgences. According to tradition, he posted them on the main door of the Castle Church.

From 1978 to 1992 the famous theologian Friedrich Schorlemmer was a preacher at the Castle Church and lecturer at the Preacher’s Seminary. He was joint founder of the peace movement “Schwerter zu Pflugscharen” (Swords to Ploughshares). The GDR government banned the use of this expression. Subsequently, at a campaign during the “Kirchentag” (Church Convention) in Wittenberg in 1983, Schorlemmer re-forged a sword to a ploughshare. From October 1989 to March 1990, at the time of the German Reunification, prayer services took place in the Castle Church “For the Restoration of the Country”. On the occasion of the 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther’s birthday in 1983, twelve glass images of European Reformers were put into the lower side windows. These had been commissioned by the Lutheran World Federation. Since 1996 the church has been on the World Heritage List of the UNESCO. During a roof renovation in 1999-2000, the constructors went back to the style in the year 1892 and so the church was given a roof made of coloured glazed tiles.
