Lutheran v. Calvinist

[History | Link | Print]

Rosenstock-Huessy points out, "For two hundred years the Lutheran patricians in Frankfurt had prevented even their Calvinist competitors from living in the city. Not until 1780, nine years before the conquest of the Bastille, did the Calvinist merchants get permission to build their church in Frankfurt itself instead of in a neighboring village."
