title: [How did Theophrast von Hohenheim become a theologian? His Salzburg sojourn 1524/25].
abstract: For a long time the question arose in research on Paracelsus what reasons might have initiated his writings about religious or even particularly theological subjects. Because the physician Paracelsus always saw his scientific interests in the context of the ethical idea of loving care for the next, it may be concluded that his interest for questions about lived christianity may also root in ethical motivations. And indeed: During the social troubles of 1524/25 (Bauernkrieg, peasants' war), Paracelsus found himself compelled to discuss religious questions by a similar engagement for the next. The text traces the historic circumstances as well as the visualized contents of the religious problems, by which Paracelsus was concerned during his study in Salzburg, and tries to show Hohenheim's religious role in this time burdened with conflicts.
