"The St. Andreaskirche with its two towers represents the structural center of the historically grown old town of Eisleben. In 1180 it was mentioned for the first time, but it did not reach its present form until the end of the 15th century. In 1531, St. Andreaskirche had 14 altars, including a Corpus Christi altar, a Petrus altar and a Marienaltar.
In February 1546, Martin Luther held his last four sermons on the pulpit built in 1509 before he died on February 18. On 19 February 1546, Martin Luther's corpse was laid out in the late Gothic Hallenkirche and transferred from there to Wittenberg by order of the Elector of Saxony."
