The Augsburg Confessions of 1530 (Diet of Augsburg) established the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD), by way of a charter established through the Electors of Saxony, of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Triglota Concordance of 1580 officially established the Lutheran doctrine of faith and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany was established, well after Dr. Martin Luther's death.
Dr. Martin Luther received his degree under the Order of Saint Augustine of Hippo, of the Catholic Church. His education and multilingual skills with translations enabled him to conform to a more pure teaching of Catholicism without the political influence of the Holy Roman Empire into the Church of Rome and the authority of the Papacy over the Catholic Council of Bishops (conciliarism).
Lutheranism trends along Evangelical-Protestant theology, while other competing doctrines trend along Reformationist-Reform theology.

Answer
Martin Luther dreamed up his own religion out of thin air to suit himself, as Christianity was too hard for him to abide, so he made up his own religion which he, himself, said that God would save him no matter how much he sinned because he had made up his mind. To try and bolster his position, he threw books out of the Old Testament and tried to throw books out of the New Testament as well. In other words, he couldn't abide the Church's teaching, so he based his version of Christianity on the Bible alone, then adjusted the Bible to agree with himself:
.
In one incident he translated Romans 8:28 as "We hold that man is justified without works of the law by faith alone." (The word "alone" is in none of the original texts) His answer to Emser's exposition of his perversion of the text was: "If your P*pist annoys you with the word [alone], tell him straightway: Dr. Martin Luther will have it so: P*pist and ass are one and the same thing. Whoever will not have my translation, let him give it the go-by: the devil's thanks to him who censures it without my will and knowledge. Luther will have it so, and he is a doctor above all the doctors in Popedom." (Amic. Discussion, 1, 127). {Please note that the WikiAnswers computer will not allow me to quote Martin Luther's word for Catholics, so I have replaced it with P*pist you have to supply the "a" yourself.}
.
Other reformers at that time did not agree with him on the New Testament and they put those books back in their Bible. The Council of Trent reaffirmed the Church's constant teaching on the Bible and all the books it contains.
