The Theses were nailed to the door of the cathedral by Martin Luther. It was common practice in that time to spark discussions about topics or to publicly communicate by posting a notice on the door. Luther had no idea what a huge outcry would result from his Theses posting. Martin Luther never intended to leave the church; he just wanted a few things changed, such as selling indulgences. So when everyone got upset, Luther was quite surprised and appalled. The Bishop in his town demanded Martin Luther come and defend himself to the Bishop, and Martin went and defended his ideas.

Around October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the church door in Wittenburg, Germany. In those days, it was common practice to nail (or tack, more likely) public documents to the church door for all to see. Shortly after Luther nailed that document to the church doors, several printers took it, translated it into German (it was originally written in Latin for only the church officers to be able to read), printed and distributed a great number of copies. It was thus circulated around Germany, and sent to the pope.By tradition, Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg on 31 October 1517. It is likely that this is merely folklore based on an account by Philipp Melanchthon who was not even in Wittenberg at the time.Whether or not they were actually nailed to the door of the church as an invitation for discussion, the Latin Theseswere printed in several locations in Germany in 1517 and subsequently translated into German in January 1518.
