Who nailed his ninety-five theses or proposals to the door of a German church?

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.
