Balthasar Hubmaier

Japanese: フープマイヤー（英語表記）Balthasar Hubmaier

Around 1480 - 1528
German Reformer. One of the early and powerful leaders of the Anabaptist movement, he excelled in culture and scholarship. His birth date is said to have been between 1480 and 1485. He became the bishop of Waldshut in 1520 and carried out the Reformation along the lines of his friend Zwingli, but he eventually broke with him and became his enemy. In 1525, he became an Anabaptist and, with the support of the city council, established an Anabaptist state church in Waldshut that included the entire population. He fled to Nikolsburg in Moravia just before the city, which had allied with the peasant army in the German Peasants' War, was occupied by the Austrian army. There, he also established an Anabaptist state church with the support of the monarch.

1480ころ‐1528
ドイツの宗教改革者。再洗礼派の初期の強力な指導者の一人で，教養と学識の豊かさでは群を抜く。生年については1480‐85年の説もある。1520年ワルツフートの司祭になり，親交を結んだツウィングリの路線で宗教改革を行ったが，やがて彼と決別，敵対して，1525年再洗礼派となり，ワルツフートに，市参事会の支持を得て，全住民を包括する再洗礼主義の国家教会を設立した。ドイツ農民戦争で農民軍と同盟した同市が，オーストリア軍に占領される直前に逃れ，モラビアのニコルスブルクに赴き，ここでも君主の支持を得て，再洗礼主義の国家教会を設立した。
