 | | Johannes Oecolampadius (1482 - November 24, 1531), German Reformer, whose real name was Hussgen or Heussgen (changed to Hausschein and then into the Greek equivalent) was born at Weinsberg, a small town in the north of the modern kingdom of Württemberg, but then belonging to the Palatinate. |
 | | In the midst of these hopes and difficulties Oecolampadius married, in the beginning of 1528, Wilibrandis Rosenblatt, the widow of Ludwig Keller[?], who proved to be non rixosa vel garrula vel vaga, he says, and made him a good wife. |
 | | In January 1528 Oecolampadius and Zwingli took part in the disputation at Berne which led to the adoption of the new faith in that canton, and in the following year to the discontinuance of the mass at Basel. |
