Later life, ministry, and the Reformation
University of Wittenberg
On 21 October 1512, Luther was received into the senate of the theological faculty of the University of Wittenberg,[36] succeeding von Staupitz as chair of theology.[37] He spent the rest of his career in this position at the University of Wittenberg.
In 1515, he was made provincial vicar of Saxony and Thuringia, which required him to visit and oversee eleven monasteries in his province.[38]
