Who translated the New Testament into German?
[Edit]

Answer

Many people have translated the bible into German; Martin Luther's translation (since revised several times) from 1522 remains one of the most widely read translations in Germany (similar in some ways to the role the King James version plays in the English-speaking world).

The question is made complex by what the definition of the word "German" is. If understood broadly, the first translation was into Gothic by Wulfila (ca. 380). Charlemagne funded translations into Frankish in the 800s AD. The first bible in what can be considered more or less modern German was the Gutenberg Bible (1455); the Mentel Bible (1466) was the first printed bible.
