Nuremberg Religious Discussion
The Nuremberg Religious Conversations are six religious conversations that took place between Old Believers and Evangelicals from Friday 3rd to Wednesday 15th March 1525 in the Great Hall of the old Nuremberg town hall . These conversations, led by Christoph Scheurl , were key events of the Reformation in Nuremberg.

The pastor of St. Lorenz Andreas Osiander , the former prior of the Augustinian monastery in Nuremberg Wolfgang Volprecht and Dominicus Sleupner appeared for the Lutherans, the Franciscans Lienhard Ebner, Michael Fries and other monastery preachers for the Old Believers. From the third session onwards, the disputation was only conducted by Ebner and Osiander in order to bring the discussions to a swift conclusion.
The city council, which called the discussion to restore the “unanimous” sermon in Nuremberg, only allowed the Bible as evidence for the respective positions , but not church law or church traditions and traditions. This led to the success of the evangelical side.
Shortly after the conclusion of the Nuremberg Religious Discussion, the City Council of Nuremberg joined the Reformation in several resolutions. On April 21, 1525, the council banned Catholic masses . Nuremberg thus became a Protestant city in which the practice of the Catholic faith was forbidden for 281 years. With the handover of Nuremberg to the Kingdom of Bavaria by the French on September 15, 1806, Bavarian law came into force in Nuremberg. Thus the Catholics were legally equated with the Protestants.
