Where was the first Protestant church built?

Martin Luther started the Protestant movement when he sought to to reform the Roman Catholic Church's use of indulgences. The first Protestant communion was celebrated in St Mary's Church, Wittenberg, Germany, in 1521. I think there is some confusion as to what the church is and what the church building is. The church is not the building, but the members of the congregation. That being cleared up, the question should be "Where was the first protestant church established?" or "Where was the first protestant church building built?" The contributor above has the correct to where and when the first protestant church was established.

What effects did the Reformation have upon Catholic properties?

The depends entirely upon which country you are talking about, although actually most of them are similar. In England and Scotland, the crown just confiscated all the Catholic property, the Churches were turned into protestant churches, and the Abbeys and other properties were awarded to nobility that the King wanted to reward. In northern Germany, the Peace of Westphalia gave all the Catholic property to the prince if he was protestant and they became protestant.

Who started the protestant reformantion?

Really there is no "Protestant religion." It is a broad term often used by 1. Roman Catholics to refer to all other Christians who are not Roman Catholic 2. non-historic, non-denominational Christians who have no other formal title and 3. Non-Roman Catholic, Non-Eastern Orthodox Christians who want to clearly distinguish themselves as non-Roman Catholic. Others protested before him, but Martin Luther can be credited with the first truly revolutionary reformation movement. That being said, Lutherans have more in common with Roman Catholics, in belief and practice, than with the other modern Protestant Churches. Many Lutherans reject the label "Protestant," since it lumps them with the modern Evangelical movement. The Lutheran and Anglican Churches are the products of conservative reform movements. All other non-Roman Catholic and non-Eastern Orthodox churches are the product of radical reformation movements. Luther and his colleagues rejected the teachings of the founders of these radical Protestant movements as vehemently as he rejected the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church of his day.
