  Rothmann, Bernhard (ca. 1495- ca. 1535)
Bernhard (Bernd) Rothmann (Rotmann, Rottman), a theologian and an Anabaptist of Münster, Westphalia, Germany, was born at Stadtlohn in the bishopric of Münster.
Rothmann's precise role from this point is not clear, but since he had always been impressionable, he very likely came under the influence of these men, who used his gifts of expression and leadership to their own ends.
Rothmann's gradual rejection of infant baptism, starting in the summer of 1533, was not only a logical consequence of his sacramental theology, but related also to his resistance to external pressure from Luther and the Schmalkaldic league to revise his Church Order of April 1533 along more orthodox Wittenberg lines.

Rothmann's Restitution was published in Flugschriften aus der Reformation VII (Halle, 1888), and his Bekentnisse van beyden Sacramenten and Van erdesscher unnde tytliker gewalt were published with introduction by Detmer and Krumbholtz, in Zwei Schriften des Münsterischen Wiedertäufers Bernhard Rothmann (Dortmund, 1904).
Rothmann responded to the attempts of Lutheran theologians at Wittenberg and Marburg to force him and Münster into Lutheran orthodoxy by opening the city to the influence of the sect of Melchior Hoffman, the major leader of Anabaptism in North Germany and The Netherlands.
Melchiorite Anabaptism was distinguished by an idiosyncratic Christology focused on the divinity of Christ and by the charismatic authority of apocalyptic prophets.

 Bernhard Rothmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the summer of 1533, Rothmann was converted by the Anabaptist disciples of Melchior Hoffman to "anti-pedobaptism".
The Christology that Rothmann held was the "celestial flesh" idea of Kaspar Schwenkfeld and Melchior Hoffman (and later of Menno Simons).
Rothmann based the legitimacy of the practice on a greater emphasis on the Old Testament than was common among most Anabaptists, as well as the Anabaptist view of marriage for the purpose of procreation.

 Kautsky: Communism in Central Europe (Chap.5c)
Rothmann quitted St. Moritz; not to turn his back on the country, however, but to be the better able to assail the Church in Münster at its centre; that is, he transferred his preaching to Münster itself.
In this state of affairs the preaching of Bernhard Rothmann found a favourable hearing; and when he withdrew in 1532 from St. Moritz to Münster, he was received with open arms by the democracy, and protected from all attempts at violence.
The most prominent of the democratic party was a rich cloth-merchant, named Bernhard Knipperdollinck; “a stately man, still young in years, with beautiful hair and beard; brave, frank, and strong in appearance, gestures, and movements; full of plans, clever in speech, and swift in deed” (Cornelius); stubborn, active, and with a propensity for the romantic.

A second and more determined attempt to establish a theocracy was made at Münster in Westphalia (1532–1535), led by Bernhard Rothmann, Bernhard Knipperdolling, Jan Matthys and John of Leiden.

In it he drew from Rothmann in stating a clear preference for immersion, though he also moderated that stance by allowing sprinkling as an acceptable alternative.

As long ago as 1956 Frank J. Wray showed that Pilgram Marpeck had borrowed the bulk of his Vermanung (1542) from the despised Münster theologian Bernhard Rothmann's Bekenntnisse of 1533.
Quite as surprising was the demonstration that Melchior Hoffman's commentary on the Apocalypse (1530) was used by the Hutterites soon after Hoffman wrote it, but without acknowledgement of authorship (Packull, 1982).
Very similar formulations of apocalyptic views on secular government and on the incarnation are found in Hoffman, Rothmann, and Menno Simons (Voolstra, 1982; Stayer, 1972, 1978, 1986).
