After the death of Luther in 1546, Bugenhagen took care of Luther's [[Katharina Luther|widow]] and children. Bugenhagen died in Wittenberg in 1558 and was buried at St. Mary's Church ([[Stadtkirche Wittenberg]]). The church also contains a memorial painting to Bugenhagen by [[Lucas Cranach the Younger]] depicting the baptism of Jesus Christ in the River Jordan by [[John the Baptist]] (with the whole Bugenhagen family watching).

Other than for his theological opinions, Bugenhagen was also well known because of his organising ability. Bugenhagen was also appreciated for his work in making a [[Middle Low German]] translation of Luther's Bible in 1534.

Johannes Bugenhagen was always a pastor at heart, and because of his love for music, his family coat of arms shows a [[harp]].
