The Münster Rebellion: When a German City Tried to Become Heaven on Earth

In 1534, the German city of Münster became the stage for one of history’s most shocking religious uprisings. Led by radical Anabaptists, this “New Jerusalem” promised a kingdom of God on Earth — but descended into tyranny, starvation, and bloodshed. In this documentary, we uncover the rise and fall of Jan van Leiden and the fanatics who turned Münster into a city of terror. From prophetic visions to brutal executions, discover how faith, power, and desperation ignited one of the strangest revolts of the Reformation era.
