The J.S. Bach tourist 9 |
 | | The connection with Johann Sebastian Bach is that Müntzer was preaching from the main church of Mühlhausen, the Marienkirche (picture on the right), in which Bach's famous "Ratswechselkantate" Gott ist mein König, BWV 71, was performed on February 4, 1708. |
 | | The minister of the Marienkirche, Georg Christian Eilmar (1665-1715) was the godfather of Bach's first child, Catharina Dorothea, born in Weimar six months after Bach's departure from Mühlhausen (The name of Eilmar's daughter was Anna Dorothea). |
 | | When the building of the Marienkirche stagnated in the 14th century, due to all kinds of quarrels and the plague, the blame was put on the Jews, who were badly persecuted here in 1349. |
