If you are inquiring about the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther is seen as the founder of the Protestant religion and him posting his 95 Theses on the Church in Wittemberg is considered where the Reformation began. Luther's beliefs targeted the Catholic Church, and he challenged the ideas of indulgences (something the common folk could buy for the dead in order to guarantee their acceptance into Heaven). He had three main "tenets", which were Christ Alone (Christ is the only mediator between God and Man, and so he should be the only one you pray to) Glory to God Alone (Faith in Christ is the way to Salvation, and it's not based on what you do in your life that merits salvation) and Grace Alone, which basically states that you cannot earn grace, but be given it by Christ alone. These views were the basis of a lot of events in Germany, including the Peasants War, the Thirty Years' War.
Luther also helped standardize the German language by translating The Bible into the German he knew, which helped establish a common language among people (which helped in the Unification of the country, a couple centuries later).

Compare the thought of Martin Luther to the ideas of Martin Luther King Jnr?
Interesting Point: Firstly, in a realistic sense, they were not connected at all, King never said he had any influence from Luther. However you can see similarities- King was fighting against what he saw as wrong, and arguably wanted a social, racial reformation whilst Luther wanted a social religious reformation. About 500 years apart though.
