John Frederick the Magnanimous promoted the Reformation. In the Smalcald War, he was the leader of the Evangelicals. Captured by the emperor after the battle at Muhlberg, he was kept prisoner for five year. Even during his imprisonment he was working for the establishment of a new Lutheran university in Jena. These essays were delivered in connection with the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Frederick in 2003.
