German description: U4 Haedline: Ein Leben im Dienst von Reich, Territorium und Kirche. Am 5. Mai 1525 jahrt sich der Todestag Friedrichs des Weisen zum 500. Mal. Aus diesem Anlass soll das Leben dieses vor allem als Beschutzer Martin Luthers bekannten sachsischen Kurfursten fur ein breiteres Publikum neu beleuchtet werden. Von der Luthersache waren nur die letzten Jahre der Regierung Friedrichs uberschattet, der in Reich, Territorium und Kirche auch auf anderen Feldern tiefe Spuren hinterlassen hat: als Aussenpolitiker, Universitatsgrunder, Kunstmazen und Reliquiensammler. Da seit der letzten grossen Biographie rund vierzig Jahre vergangen sind, kann fur die Darstellung auf eine reiche jungere Forschung und zahlreiche seither neu erschlossene Quellen zuruckgegriffen werden. English summary: May 5, 1525 marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Frederick the Wise. On this occasion, the life of this Saxon elector, best known as the protector of Martin Luther, will be shed new light for a broader audience. Only the last years of Frederick’s reign were overshadowed by the Luther cause, who also left deep marks in the empire, territory and church in other fields: as a foreign politician, university founder, art patron and relic collector. Since around forty years have passed since the last major biography, the presentation can draw on a wealth of recent research and numerous sources that have been newly developed since then.
