Study paper from 2008 in the field of Theology - Historical Theology, Church History, grade: 1.3, Technical University of Dresden (Philosophical Faculty - Institute for Protestant Theology), course: Main Seminar Church History: "Martin Luther", 11 sources in the bibliography, language: German, abstract: The Reformation had a greater impact in Germany than just the Renaissance and Humanism. It radiated into all areas of life and affected all social classes, profoundly influencing the entire German cultural life, language, state, and science, and not least education and the schooling system, at least in the Protestant part of Germany. Martin Luther aimed not only for a renewal of theology and the church but also for the renewal of education, following a rise in schools and universities during the Humanism period.
