On May 4, 1521, on his way home to Wittenberg , Luther was kidnapped to the Wartburg to protect himself from his captors . Luther stayed in his safe hiding place in the Wartburg for almost a whole year and thus in absolute isolation. Thinking to himself, Luther is now and then plagued by the devil.
