Wartburg College is named after the Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany, where Martin Luther was disguised as a knight for 11 months during the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. During his time at the Wartburg Castle, Luther translated the New Testament of the Bible into the language of the people, making it readable for the common man for the first time in history. Prior to this time, only priests could read the Bible. Wartburg College is an internationally recognized four-year liberal arts college of the Lutheran Church (ELCA).

Why does it say "over 500 years ago"? Shouldn't that be "almost 500 years ago"? Granted, my time line is not exact, but I thought the 95 thesis were nailed to Castle Church Wittenburg in 1517, and Luther was in Wartburg well after that period of time. I know it's close to the 500 year mark, but we're not there yet.
