	Thomas Muentzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Muentzer (or Müntzer, Münzer) (1489 or 1490–27 May 1525) was an early Reformation-era German pastor who was a rebel leader during the Peasants' War.
		Muentzer believed and taught of the "living word of God" (i.e., continued revelation and prophecy), the banning of infant baptism, and that the wine and bread of the Eucharist were only emblems of Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
		Muentzer was then adopted by socialists as a symbol of early class struggle.Muentzer's movement and the peasants' revolt formed an important topic in Friedrich Engels' book The Peasant War in Germany, a classic defense of historical materialism.

		Muentzer, although he quoted often Bible to justify his reasoning, maintained that the Bible is not a witness to the revelation of God given once and for all in the historical Jesus.

	frontline: apocalypse!: apocalypticism explained: thomas muentzer
		Muentzer took the images of the apocalypse, the images of a desperate struggle between the forces of righteousness and the forces of evil, and applied it to the peasantry of Europe in his own day.
		Thomas Muentzer had assured his followers that their struggle against the landowners, against the rulers and the leaders of the day, was a divinely ordained struggle, and that in the war that would follow, they would be spared, that God would intervene.
		Muentzer is important largely because the East German state in the 20th century, borrowing from Engels and Marx in the 19th century, needed their own hero.

	ABSTRACT: Thomas Müntzer: Mystic and Apocalyptic Revolutionary? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Thomas Müntzer stands out as one of the most colourful figures of the early Reformation period, not least on account of his vivid and passionate polemic -- much of it directed against his one-time hero Martin Luther -- and leading role in one of the uprisings of the so-called Peasants' Revolt of 1525.
		For some years he was too readily categorised as variously a 'forerunner of revolutionary class consciousness' or theologian cornered into preaching violent insurrection, though the complexity of his ideas was also widely acknowledged and explored in academic circles.
		I suggest that his apocalyptic reading of the situation building up around him was highly significant in shaping both his response to, and (ultimately unrealistic) expectations of, it.

		Utterly defeated, captured, imprisoned and tortured, Muentzer recanted and accepted the Catholic mass prior to his beheading in Mühlhausen in Thuringia on 27.
		Muentzer's struggle of "good against evil" later made him a symbolic hero for the East German state (German Democratic Republic) in the 20th century.
		It may seem odd for the atheist GDR state to have a theologian as a hero, but it may have come about in part, because Muentzer's movement and the peasants' revolt formed an important topic in Friedrich Engels' book "The Peasant War in Germany", a classic defense of historical materialism.

		Until Thomas Müntzer and other radicals like him would reject the legitimizing factors of ancient law and employ Godly Law as a means to rouse the people, uprisings would remain isolated, unsupported and easily put down.
		The peasant movement ultimately failed as cities and nobles made their own peace with the princely armies which restored the old order in often still harsher form under the nominal overlordship of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, represented in German affairs by his younger brother Ferdinand.
		Gaining momentum and a new leader in Thomas Münzer, the revolts turned into an all-out war, the experience of which played an important role in the founding of the Anabaptist movement.

	Thomas Müntzer \| All Empires
		It must seem strange at first sight that the DDR (or the German Democratic Republic), a Socialist and thus self-declared atheist state issued bank-notes and postage stamps with the portray of a late Medieval Protestant priest.
		But Thomas Müntzer, born in 1489 in the little town of Stolberg in the remote Harz Mountains in Central Germany, belonged to the select number of German historical figures that the DDR regarded as the ideological ancestors of itself, “the first workers and peasant state on German soil”.
		During a few years in the 1520s, Müntzer became the spiritual and political leader of a rebellion that was oppressed as fast as it had risen, and as all the others before and after, ended in bloody revenge by the ruling classes whose most prominent victim, the priest himself became.
