Guided Tour «Reformation 2.0»
Johann Conrad Ulmer (1519–1600) is considered Schaffhausen's second reformer. After his election as Antistes and later as Dean, he shaped church life in Schaffhausen for around three decades from 1566 onwards, among other things by creating the first catechism and a hymn book. Johann Conrad Ulmer is also considered one of the founders of Reformed Orthodoxy. In doing so, he wanted to resolutely oppose the pressure of the Counter-Reformation.
Through the figure of Johann Jakob Rüeger, a contemporary of Ulmer, chronicler, and cathedral pastor, city guide and local historian Martin Harzenmoser vividly conveys the turbulent times of the late 16th century. On his tour, he not only points out places associated with Johann Jakob Ulmer, but also recounts aspects of everyday life in Schaffhausen at that time, using excerpts from chronicles.
