background

For Martin Luther's 500th birthday in 1983, DEFA produced a trilogy of documentary films about the life of Martin Luther on behalf of East German television in 1981 . The film A Student from Mansfeld - Martin Luther's Youth is the first part of this casual series. Eberhard Mellies and Kurt Böwe are the speakers for the film. The specialist advice was taken over by Dr. Gerhard Brendler . The second part of the relaxed series is entitled Who took the time to speak - Martin Luther at the Wartburg . The third part is entitled Citizen Luther - Wittenberg 1508–1546 .

A student from Mansfeld - Martin Luther's youth was broadcast on August 31, 1983 at 8:40 p.m. on DDR-DFF II .

The FWU had the three films reworked and severely shortened. In 1991 she published this newly created four-part version as a series of lessons on the life of Martin Luther on VHS video cassettes. Like the original version, the four-part series was not given a series title. The individual titles in the series are: Student Luther from Mansfeld , The Beginning of the Reformation in Wittenberg , Martin Luther on the Wartburg and Citizen Luther in Wittenberg . Each part has a playing time of approximately 15 minutes. In contrast to the original version, the four-part version has only one speaker for the comments. On the cover of the video cassette, the lower secondary level (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium as well as the integrated comprehensive school from the 7th school year), upper secondary level II and further education are named as addressees. An accompanying text is attached to the individual video cassettes, in which learning objectives and further information for teachers can be found.
