It was through Ottheinrich of 1556 to 1559 as Elector Palatine amtierte, the Lutheran Confession made mandatory. The monastery was repealed in 1556. In Reichenbach, it was John Hagnus, a graduate of the University of Wittenberg, the Protestant Church to enforce order. During the subsequent reign of Frederick III, Elector. (1559–1576), a supporter of the reformed, Calvinist direction of Protestantism, was Hagnus as other Lutheran clergyman dismissed. The Calvinist iconoclasts destroyed in 1570 by Reichenbacher monastery many artworks.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.”
—Eliza Archard Connor, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 9, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
