('German' or 'Germanes' are English or Latin names.) You talk and think in terms of ethnicity, while I was talking about political entities (states, cities or nations). The country called 'Deutsches Reich' (='German Empire') was founded in 1871 and that was long after the times of Luther. So Luther was not a 'German' because there didn't exist any political entity named 'Germany' in his lifetime. He spoke German, of course, even if German was not a single well defined language at his time. It was actually Luther himself, who created (in a way) the modern German, simply by translating the bible from Latin into a new language, which he in part invented. So: what made Luther a German? He was actually born in Eisleben. I forgot to which country that belonged, but definitely not to 'Germany', 'Deutschland' or 'Deutsches Reich'. TH
