Wittenberg und die Reformation in Kursachsen 1521/22
by Volkmar Joestel
German description: Wahrend Luther 1521/22 auf der Wartburg war, begann in ganz Kursachsen eine rege Reformtatigkeit. Dabei gab es kirchenpolitische Unterschiede zwischen dem Herrschaftsgebiet des Kurfursten und dem seines Bruders, Herzog Johanns. Das fuhrte zu einem unterschiedlichen Verlauf der Reformation in beiden Gebieten. Deutlich sichtbar wird dies an den Stadten, von Wittenberg uber Eilenburg, Grimma, Borna, Altenburg, Zwickau, Neustadt a. d. Orla, Jena und Gotha bis nach Weimar. Zudem stellt der Reformationshistoriker Volkmar Joestel auch die Aktivitaten der bauerlichen Bewegung und des Adels vor. Eng verknupft waren die reformatorische Theologie und die sozialen Wirklichkeiten. Es geht auch um die Frage, wie und warum dieser hoffnungsvolle Aufbruch im Kur- und Meissnischen Kreis so schnell beendet wurde, wahrend er in Thuringen noch zwei Jahre anhielt. English summary: While Luther was at Wartburg Castle in 1521/22, a flurry of reform activity began throughout Electoral Saxony. There were differences in church policy between the Elector’s domain and that of his brother, Duke Johann. This meant the Reformation took a different course in the two areas. This is clearly visible in the cities, from Wittenberg to Eilenburg, Grimma, Borna, Altenburg, Zwickau, Neustadt a. d. Orla, Jena and Gotha to Weimar. In addition, the Reformation historian Volker Joestel presents the activities of the peasant movement and the nobility. Closely linked were Reformation theology and social realities. Also at issue are the questions of how and why this hopeful awakening in the Electoral and Meissen district ended so quickly, while it persisted for another two years in Thuringia.
