Friedrich Reiser
Friedrich Reiser (* around 1401 in Taiting, today Daiting ; † March 6, 1458 in Strasbourg ) was a German Hussite and Waldensian .
Live and act
Reiser came from a Waldensian family in Swabia. In 1418 he went to Nuremberg , where Hans von Plauen , who was also a Waldensian, trained him to be a preacher. In 1420 Reiser became a Waldensian master and worked as a hiking teacher in the Swabian-Alemannic region. In 1430 he went to Bohemia. It was in 1432 Hussite priest and a year later in Basel for bishop consecrated.
From 1435 onwards Reiser taught Hussite ideas throughout Germany, relying on the Waldensian communities. He probably wrote the book Reformatio imperatoris Sigismundi , in which he propagated the ideal of poverty, fought against indulgences and beneficiaries of the clergy and called for the separation of spiritual and secular power in order to liberate the Christian church.
In 1457 he settled in Strasbourg , where he was seized by the Inquisition in 1458 . The two Dominicans Nikolaus Hanemann and Johann Wegrauf acted as inquisitors . After being tortured, Reiser confessed everything that was asked of him, but only to take back what he had admitted as soon as he left the torture chamber. A secular court sentenced Reiser to death by fire .
