The Ütinger Artickel of farmers Kleinhans

In the wake of the emerging Protestantism and the beginning of humanism emerged in February 1525, when the Article 12 of the peasantry in Swabia. Here came a respected and wealthy farmer named Kleinhans from Uettingen in the foreground. He knew how to articulate the anger and wrote the so-called Ütinger Artickel. In it but only a little reminiscent of the 12 articles of the peasantry and he was in attempting to enforce its articles, unscrupulous.

It was essentially a local approach, in which the claim of the Earl was reprimanded by Wertheim, the monks of wooden churches everything the Uettingen were guilty of them to pay in three days. Otherwise, you would sell the property of the citizens and thus cover their debts. This was particularly hard because of a bad harvest year. Furthermore, the count had forbidden the freedom of movement, the communities deprived of civil rights, sold the pasture and made ​​a troopers for mayor.

In his article Kleinhans built his agitational machinations on in the area, although it does not skimp on lies and threats. In Uettingen he reached easily, that he was given the leadership of the community. After the mayor, appointed by the Counts of Wertheim was loyal to his master, which was declared deposed and Kleinhans allowed himself to become the mayor.

The first action was the monastery of wooden churches, particularly its wine cellar. When marching out he called " sy have Follen box ". The Uettingen went with the possession not gentle to even the last wine barrels found buyers. One night, sat a Uettingen secondment with Kleinhans helmet townspeople under pressure. Now and at the same you would have to enter the Brotherhood against the monks and priests. It was followed by the Billingshäuser, the two Altertheim that Lautenbacher, the Bettinger, the Dertinger, the Kembacher, the height fields, etc. To those who resisted, he threatened unequivocal: " ziecht ir, so e are nit so we wöllen niemen you, what ir and have wöllen you drive out of the lands! "

The Remlinger including the mayor but resisted, if known, as only one. So the Tauberbischofsheimer Haufe should convert the Remlinger by letter. You, also "Christian versamlung the nine stet " called themselves would have committed to " all that the uffricht holy gospel, help uffrichten and help all the prints down the holy gospel, upset ". The cancellation of the Remlinger was determined: They had heard with joy, they gave the captains to answer, as the crowd tried to sit the holy Gospel, since they themselves have long been at the mercy of Almighty God, the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ from the heart coveted; but they also knew that the peace- rich word of God to defend by hand is not cut rates. These would Mr. Georg Graf zu Wertheim, at the time their lord, had so much grace and she promoted with diligence and provided with a learned preacher. They would therefore like to thank for this fraternal invitation.

This behavior must be taken into account in the interpretation of the words of Count George when he said: " If he had in all his spots evangelical preacher had, he probably would have been spared this upheaval ."
