Ludwig Haetzer

Ludwig Haetzer

Ludwig Haetzer (also Ludwig Hetzer, Ludwig Hätzer and sometimes Ludwig Hatzer) (1500 – 4 February 1529) was an Anabaptist and associated with the Protestant reformation in Germany.

Born in Bischofszell, Thurgau, Switzerland, he wrote an article against the uses of images in worship, translated some Latin evangelical texts regarding the conversion of Jews, together with Hans Denck he translated the prophets of the Bible into German (1528) and wrote a booklet discouraging the consumption of alcohol. Haetzer regarded Jesus as a leader and teacher only; not divine and not an object of worship.

Haetzer attended the Martyrs' Synod in Augsburg. He was executed by beheading in Konstanz, Germany, on 4 February 1529.
