He was famous for being a protestant.
Martin Luther was a German monk and theological professor who became angry with the church practice of "indulgences" (indulgences are a grant from the Church towards the remission of the temporal punishment due to already forgiven sin - they have nothing whatsoever to do with forgiving sin). This led him to produce 95 theses in 1517 and post them on the church door at Wittenburg. This led ultimately to his condemnation by the pope at the Diet of worms and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.
Originally, Martin Luther had no animosity against the Jews in Germany, but hoped to convert them to his beliefs. When few Jews embraced his teachings he attacked them more and more in his writings. Four hundred years later, his remarks were frequently quoted in Nazi newspapers and pamphlets.

∙ 9y agoAnswer from a Catholic Martin Luther was famous for rewriting The Bible, throwing books out, and insisting that he knew salvation better than the Church that Christ established. He left his Friary, violated all of his solemn vows, married a run-away nun, and denigrated the Church. He was most famous for starting the protestant revolt and removing all principalities from the means of salvation. He was a terrible anti-Semite who proved the groundwork for Hitler centuries later as he insisted that the Aryan race was specially chosen and should rule, see the paper at the link below::ANTI-SEMITISM IN GERMANY
