How much one can discover by taking a bike ride and getting lost in the picturesque villages surrounding the Harz Mountains in Germany. In particular, thanks to a spontaneous and selfless guided tour of the Frose Church (Seeland), I've had the opportunity to learn about a less-known figure (at least for those who aren't German) who, in my opinion, played an even more significant role than Luther.

A pesar de haber sido inicialmente un sacerdote católico, Müntzer adoptó posteriormente las ideas del protestantismo de Martín Lutero. Sin embargo, a medida que avanzaba, Müntzer se radicalizó, distanciándose de las enseñanzas de Lutero. Criticaba a Lutero por no ll
