English summary: In the 1520s, radical movements were responsible for fomenting iconoclasm directed against idolatry and the veneration of saints in many places of worship. Martin Luther did not reject images in principle, but found them useful if they contributed to the understanding of scripture and preaching. His own portrait served as an instrument of visual propaganda as well as being used for documentary and didactic purposes in the enforcing the Reformation. As part of this process, portraits of Luther that depicted him as an ambassador for the Reformation or illustrated his biographical journey had an important function. German description: Radikale Stromungen zettelten in den 1520er Jahren einen Bildersturm in vielen Gotteshausern an, der sich gegen den Gotzendienst und die Praxis der Heiligenverehrung richtete. Martin Luther lehnte Bilder nicht prinzipiell ab, er fand sie nutzlich, wenn sie zum Verstandnis der Texte und Predigten beitrugen. Sein eigenes Portrat diente bei der Durchsetzung der Reformation als Instrument der Bildpropaganda sowie dokumentarischen und lehrhaften Zwecken. Dabei ubernahmen die Bildnisse Luthers als Botschafter des reformatorischen Programms und Illustration seines biografischen Werdegangs eine wesentliche Funktion.Der Band erscheint zum Thuringer Themenjahr “Bild und Botschaft”
