Thomas Müntzer was a German preacher and theologian who played a significant role in the early Reformation. He initially engaged with Martin Luther but eventually broke away due to evolving spiritual and apocalyptic beliefs. Müntzer organized an armed militia during the German Peasants’ War, which culminated in his capture, torture, and execution following the Battle of Frankenhausen. His actions were motivated by a belief in the impending apocalypse and the necessity of a new historical era.
