So quaint, with such solid foundations, eh. Really cool that they have preserved it all so well.
"The turbulent conflicts among principalities of Germany were aggravated by unrest of clergymen of the Catholic Church presaging the advent of the Protestant Reformation as early as the fourteenth century by John Wycliffe (1330-1384) and followed closely by John Huss (1369-1415) who attacked what he conceived to be corruptions within the Roman Church including the sale of indulgences and low moral standard of ordained priests. Martin Luther argued that the Bible was the sole standard of Christian doctrine and the authority of the Pope was not based on scripture. Historians date the start of the Protestant Reformation at 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses into the Wittenberg Church door. His hope that his criticisms would spur renewal of the church did not prevail and he was excommunicated. Luther effectively used the power of the press to spread his ideas and teachings. He inspired many Germans, both peasants and princes. It is said that when Martin Luther passed through Büdingen in 1521 that many converted to Protestantism. Over time, with a succession of different ruling lords, there has been a succession of changes in state sanctioned religious beliefs"
