Martin Luther auf dem Reichstag zu Worms
Ereignis und Rezeption
edited by Markus Wriedt and Werner Zager
German description: Martin Luthers Widerrufverweigerung am 18. April 1521 auf dem Reichstag zu Worms zahlt zu den Sternstunden der Reformation. Vor Kaiser und Reich bekannte sich Luther zu seinen theologischen Schriften. Was er geschrieben habe, konne er nicht widerrufen, wenn er nicht durch Zeugnisse der Schrift oder klare Vernunftgrunde uberwunden wurde. Ansonsten fuhlte er sich gebunden an sein im Wort Gottes gefangenes Gewissen. Die Beitrage des Bandes widmen sich zum einen diesem Ereignis selbst in seinem historischen Kontext. Zum anderen werden die Wirkungen von Luthers Auftritt in Worms behandelt: in der zeitgenossischen Publizistik, in bildlichen Darstellungen durch die Jahrhunderte und spater im Film, in der protestantischen Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte, in Lutherfestspielen und in Feiern zu Reichstagsjubilaen seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. English summary: Martin Luther’s refusal to recant on 18 April 1521 at the Diet of Worms is one of the great moments of the Reformation. Luther confessed his theological writings before the emperor and the empire. What he had written he could not revoke unless he was overcome by testimonies of Scripture or clear reasons of reason. Otherwise, he felt bound by his conscience imprisoned in the Word of God. The contributions in this volume are devoted on the one hand to this event itself in its historical context. On the other hand, the effects of Luther’s appearance in Worms are dealt with: in contemporary pamphlets and Luther fables, in pictorial representations through the centuries and later in film, in Protestant intellectual and cultural history, in Luther festivals and in celebrations of Diet anniversaries since the 19th century.
