Auf der nördlichen Seite des Angers befindet sich das Erfurter Lutherdenkmal. Die imposante Bronzestatue zeigt den Reformator mit der geöffneten Bibel in der Hand. Der Standort wurde nicht ohne Grund gewählt. Zum einen spiegelt das sechs Meter hohe Denkmal auf dem belebten und zentralen Anger die große Bedeutung des Reformators in Erfurt wieder. Darüber hinaus hielt Luther in der benachbarten Kaufmannskirche im Oktober 1522 eine wichtige Predigt, mit der er Streitigkeiten unter seinen Anhängern schlichtete. Das Lutherdenkmal entwarf Fritz Schaper, Professor an der Kunstakademie Berlin. Eingeweiht wurde es im Jahr 1889. Seine Vorderseite ziert der Bibelvers: "Ich werde nicht sterben, sondern leben". Um den Sockel herum sind drei Reliefs mit den prägenden Stationen aus Luthers Erfurter Zeit zu sehen: sein Studium am Collegium Maius, den Eintritt in das Augustinerkloster und den Weg nach Worms.
