Martin Luther was against the selling of indulgences. At that time John Tetzel was sent by the Pope to Germany to raise money for the renovation of St. Peter's Basilica. In order to raise this money they sold pardons for ones sins. That is why he wrote 95 theses.

Who created the Lutheran church?

His followers. I have been raised Lutheran and I have learned that Martin Luther's original intentions were not at all to break with the Catholic church, he in fact encouraged his followers not to break from the church, he just wanted to change the corruptness of it and focus more on the Bible. The way I understand it to be is that Martin Luther's followers (not Martin Luther, it was after his death) broke from the Catholic church because they recognized the strength of the church itself and were insulted by the fact that the Catholic church excommunicated Luther.
