Müntzer is considered as part of the Luther-centred Reformation memory culture. After a brief biography of Müntzer’s short life and his relationship with reformers of his age, the study focuses on his written work, especially on the Fürstenpredigt. Coming from the tradition of German mysticism and chiliast lay movements, Müntzer preaches a ‘theology of the heart’. From 1523, differences to Luther became sharply accentuated. Unlike Luther, Müntzer’s theology encompasses social and political concerns, freeing the lower classes from religious dogmatism and feudalism. He therefore opposes Luther’s concept of ‘sola scriptum’ in favour of an ‘inner word’, is against Luther’s ‘sola fide’, thought to limit a Christian’s freedom of choice and is particularly against Luther’s doctrine of the two realms which restricts worldly power to the princes. The metaphor of the ‘sword’ pervades Müntzer’s work, foreshadowing his eventual involvement in the Peasants Uprising. The second part of this study involves a survey of Müntzer research from the nineteenth century to the present, focusing on work in the 1920s and in the GDR, where Müntzer became increasingly associated with the state’s culture of identity.

Luther und Müntzer、Zwei Reformatoren、Ein Revolutionär？

Müntzer 被认为是以路德为中心的宗教改革记忆文化的一部分。在简要介绍了 Müntzer 短暂的一生以及他与同龄改革者的关系之后，该研究的重点是他的书面作品，尤其是 Fürstenpredigt。来自德国神秘主义和千禧年世俗运动的传统，Müntzer 宣扬“心灵神学”。从 1523 年开始，与路德的分歧变得尖锐起来。与路德不同，明策的神学涵盖社会和政治问题，将下层阶级从宗教教条主义和封建主义中解放出来。因此，他反对路德的“唯独圣经”概念，支持“内在话语”，反对路德的“唯独信仰”，认为它限制了基督徒的选择自由，尤其反对路德关于将世俗权力限制在两个领域的教义。诸侯。“剑”的隐喻贯穿了 Müntzer 的作品，预示着他最终参与了农民起义。本研究的第二部分涉及对从 19 世纪到现在的 Müntzer 研究的调查，重点是 1920 年代和东德的工作，在那里 Müntzer 越来越与国家的身份文化联系在一起。
