# Luther proceeds to the Wittenberg doctorate in theology

Date: 1512

## The fact

In 1512 [Luther](/people/martin-luther) became doctor of theology at Wittenberg and took up biblical lectures. This is the office behind 1517, not 1517 itself.

## Context

Staupitz steered him into the chair. Frederick's university is the employer.

## Evidence and sources

University and Luther chronologies. Establishes the doctorate and lecturing post. Wikipedia is not used as a causal source.

## Significance

Teacher-supply: the chair is the job, the theses are later output.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1512 doctorate. Not established: that the chair was invented for revolt. Confidence high.
