In the Leipzig disputation in 1519, in which Planitz participated in his capacity as electoral councilor, he took the side of Martin Luther and upheld his right to appeal against Johannes Eck . Luther later thanked the Elector in a letter: "- and if Hans von Planitz, Your Electoral Highness Captain zu Grimma, hadn't been, I would have been completely at the mercy, as he might well report to your Electoral Highness ..."
