今年是德国十六世纪伟大的宗教改革运动的领导人马丁·路德(1483—1546)诞生五百周年纪念。恩格斯在提到文艺复兴时代的“在多才多艺上和学识广博上的巨人”时列举了马丁·路德的名字。恩格斯说:“路德不但扫清了教会的积秽,而且也扫清了德国语言的积秽,创造了近代德国的散文和撰写了那成为十六世纪的《马赛曲》的充满胜利信心的歌词和曲调。” This year marks the centenary of the birth of Martin Luther (1483-1546), the leader of Germany’s great religious reform movement in the 16th century. Engels mentions Martin Luther’s name when it comes to the Renaissance “giants on the planet of versatility and learning.” Engels said: “Luther has not only cleared the plot of the church, but also cleared up the plot of the German language, created a modern German essay and wrote the victorious confidence that became the Marseilles of the 16th century Lyrics and tunes. ”
