(That's why I actually thought, that 'Einstein' was Swiss by birth and that he wasn't a Jew and his name wasn't 'Einstein'.)
It doesn't matter much what you "actually think". Yet you keep blabbering.
You lost your credit when you claimed Germans at the time of Luther were not called "Germans". You even reasoned it like, "there was no country called Germany at the time therefore there were no Germans". Something as stupid as that.

Most Germans didn't speak English at that time, hence could eventually have called themselves 'Deutsche' (if they had any intentions to do so), because they spoke a language called 'Deutsch'.
('German' or 'Germanes' are English or Latin names.)
You talk and think in terms of ethnicity, while I was talking about political entities (states, cities or nations).
The country called 'Deutsches Reich' (='German Empire') was founded in 1871 and that was long after the times of Luther.
So Luther was not a 'German' because there didn't exist any political entity named 'Germany' in his lifetime.
He spoke German, of course, even if German was not a single well defined language at his time.
It was actually Luther himself, who created (in a way) the modern German, simply by translating the bible from Latin into a new language, which he in part invented.
So: what made Luther a German?
He was actually born in Eisleben. I forgot to which country that belonged, but definitely not to 'Germany', 'Deutschland' or 'Deutsches Reich'.
