| Summary: | Carrying out the Reformation in Württemberg became possible as a result of the Peace of Kaaden of June 29, 1534. This peace allowed Duke Ulrich to enforce the Reformation, though not on the Zürich model. Ulrich oriented himself toward the Augsburg Confession. Nevertheless, he drew on the assistance not only of the Lutheranoriented Erhard Schnepf, but also of the upper-Gennan-minded Ambrosius Blarer. Under ducal pressure, these two came to terms in the Stuttgart Concord, which defined the Communion article of the Augsburg Confession in a sharply Lutheran sense. This same Lutheran teaching concerning the Lord's Supper informed the texts of the ecclesiastical ordinance of 1536, the shape of which was upper German. This distinction between form and content led the way to compromise. On the question of images, the iconophobic Blarer evidently prevailed at the Urach Conference on idols ( Uracher Götzentag, September 1537). Regardless of this, Duke Ulrich's image-hostile politics was not the product of deeply engrained theological convictions, but rather of his efforts to make Württemberg's Reformation clear and unmistakable. Reform measures had to symbolize the land's new reformed identity. In order to achieve this, Ulrich established from the start a foundation of clear orientation toward Lutheran principles. |
