Ludwig Hätzers „Kreuzgang“ (1528/29): Ein Zeugnis täuferischer Bildpropaganda
ABSTRACT
A work by Ludwig Hätzer which Sebastian Franck called “cloisters” in 1531 has so far been regarded as lost. In this article, Alejandro Zorzin shows that a woodcut by the “Petrarcameister” contained in a broadsheet published by Johann Prüss the Younger in Strasbourg in 1529 is Hätzer’s work. The texts accompanying the woodcut, two rhymes and an anonymous letter, might also be by Hätzer. This Anabaptist broadsheet propagated an understanding of salvation focused on the experience of the Cross and Christ’s suffering that prevailed among the early Anabaptist movement in Southern Germany and Austria, which Hätzer joined in 1527. The broadsheet was probably meant for missionary purposes and catechesis. It offered a new hermeneutical key for the understanding of the Scriptures as well as an alternative style of piety, replacing the anthropomorph and tripartite representation of God with the usage of the Hebraic tetragram.
