The Munster Uprising Led by Jan Matthias
In 1534, Münster faced turmoil as Jan Matthias, following a radical vision, instigated a rebellion against the Catholic rule of Bishop Franz von Waldeck. Matthias proclaimed himself the leader, declared the city as the New Jerusalem, and imposed radical laws, sparking fear and dissent among the citizens. His futile attempt to lead a small troop out of the city resulted in his death, but the rebellion continued under Jan von Leiden, leading to further authoritarian rule.
