North wall with spiral staircase

Between the spiral staircase in the north wall, which leads to the gallery, and the door where Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses, there are six more bronze plaques embedded in the wall with Latin inscriptions. They bear the names of three professors of theology, one of jurisprudence, and two of medicine, who taught at Wittenberg University in the 17th and 18th centuries and are buried in the church.

The Two Kneeling Knights

To the left and right of the altar, on pedestals, stand two life-size marble figures of knights in armor, kneeling. Both are gazing towards the altar in a posture of "eternal adoration," their helmets removed and placed beside them, their hair held in place by a net-like, gold-colored cap. The knight on the left is a "striking likeness" of Elector Frederick the Wise (d. 1525), while the knight on the right, whose face is unfortunately damaged, represents his brother, Elector John the Steadfast (d. 1532). Both are buried in the crypt beneath the choir.
