00:16.410 --> 00:19.930
A new song, by Dr. Luther.

00:20.590 --> 00:22.250
Fresh from the printing press.

00:22.930 --> 00:24.390
Come here and listen to it.

00:30.740 --> 00:41.160
Now rejoice, dear Christian community,
And let us happily jump, That we are

00:41.160 --> 00:47.180
consoled and all in one, With joy and love
sing.

00:47.180 --> 00:58.640
What God has given to us, And his sweet
miracle, God has acquired it.

01:02.040 --> 01:05.040
The song is by Dr. Martin Luther from
Wittenberg.

01:05.360 --> 01:05.860
Come here, everybody!

01:08.340 --> 01:14.860
When I was caught by the devil,
I was lost in death.

01:16.160 --> 01:19.940
My sin tormented me night and day.

01:20.000 --> 01:20.680
Stop singing!

01:21.040 --> 01:24.320
I was born in it.

01:24.360 --> 01:25.580
Stop singing!

01:25.720 --> 01:29.080
I fell deeper and deeper.

01:29.720 --> 01:33.420
There was no bridge in my life.

01:33.820 --> 01:34.320
Stop it!

01:35.720 --> 01:36.360
People are already watching.

01:36.960 --> 01:37.800
Tell me, fisherwoman!

01:38.320 --> 01:39.060
What's gotten into you?

01:39.980 --> 01:41.620
You're the one who pulls people together.

01:41.900 --> 01:43.120
You can't do that in public.

01:43.120 --> 01:43.300
What do you want?

01:43.300 --> 01:45.900
You can't sing such a song in public.

01:46.920 --> 01:48.040
And why not?

01:48.400 --> 01:49.840
Dr. Luther is banned.

01:50.840 --> 01:52.880
And who cares about that in Nuremberg?

01:53.120 --> 01:54.720
The Reichstag is in the city.

01:56.030 --> 01:56.360
Exactly.

01:57.200 --> 01:59.140
You can do a great deal of business there.

02:01.520 --> 02:04.860
My good work didn't count.

02:06.060 --> 02:07.840
It was lost forever.

02:09.420 --> 02:14.080
The free will hated God's judgment.

02:14.440 --> 02:16.120
He died for good.

02:18.380 --> 02:26.220
The fear drove me so desperately that
nothing remained to die with me.

02:26.960 --> 02:30.120
I had to sink to hell.

02:31.940 --> 02:33.600
Tell me, fisherwoman!

02:34.100 --> 02:36.280
What do you have against the song?

02:36.940 --> 02:38.520
Dr. Luther is banned.

02:39.900 --> 02:42.380
You won't get rid of your fear of hell
with your old-fashioned speech.

02:45.640 --> 02:47.060
My husband's brothers say that too.

02:47.800 --> 02:51.020
But what will happen if they take
everything away from us that we can rely

02:51.020 --> 02:51.100
on?

02:52.020 --> 02:53.740
Then there will only be eternal damnation.

02:54.420 --> 02:57.500
And in the end, they will melt the
beautiful new tomb of our Sebald again.

02:57.880 --> 02:58.660
I don't think so.

02:59.620 --> 03:01.060
My family worked on it for 20 years.

03:01.800 --> 03:03.160
Five times they changed the design.

03:04.060 --> 03:06.160
Willibald Pirckheimer, all the scholars of
the city were there.

03:06.300 --> 03:07.000
They had their ideas.

03:07.540 --> 03:08.360
Then they melted it.

03:08.920 --> 03:11.360
Only five years ago and already famous in
the whole empire.

03:11.600 --> 03:12.980
And now it should be nothing more?

03:14.020 --> 03:14.900
I don't think so.

03:15.160 --> 03:15.680
It stays.

03:15.860 --> 03:16.280
Won't it?

03:17.200 --> 03:19.200
But the Sebaldus grave is a work of art.

03:20.100 --> 03:20.960
It will come.

03:21.660 --> 03:23.620
Where should it lead us with these
Wittenbergers?

03:24.960 --> 03:25.840
To freedom.

03:26.800 --> 03:27.860
It will lead us to freedom.

03:28.020 --> 03:28.820
Men's speech.

03:29.680 --> 03:30.720
The family is torn apart.

03:31.560 --> 03:32.640
Some follow Luther.

03:32.920 --> 03:34.380
Others hold up the teachings of the
church.

03:34.740 --> 03:35.760
And everyone wants to be right.

03:36.460 --> 03:37.480
That doesn't stop a family.

03:38.920 --> 03:40.300
And a city society doesn't either.

03:40.340 --> 03:40.840
It destroys everything.

03:42.060 --> 03:43.620
The outspoken speeches destroy us.

03:44.400 --> 03:45.880
There is no holding back for a long time.

03:46.940 --> 03:49.220
The only consolation is in the writing.

03:49.920 --> 03:52.680
Yes, your Wittenbergian nightingale sings
that.

03:53.440 --> 03:53.780
Yes.

03:54.640 --> 03:57.580
Didn't the master Saxon have a say in his
master's poem?

03:58.420 --> 03:59.000
Of course.

03:59.000 --> 04:02.720
Like the young men when they come home
from studying in Wittenberg.

04:02.920 --> 04:04.160
They eat the wisdom with spoons.

04:06.180 --> 04:06.820
Wake up.

04:07.180 --> 04:08.300
The day is drawing near.

04:08.780 --> 04:11.500
I hear the nightingale sing in the green
hark.

04:11.940 --> 04:14.900
Her song resonates through mountains and
valleys.

04:15.040 --> 04:17.120
And this beautiful new song makes everyone
mad.

04:17.960 --> 04:18.600
It destroys everything.

04:18.920 --> 04:19.740
And the art too.

04:21.840 --> 04:23.240
Dr. Luther doesn't destroy anything.

04:24.080 --> 04:25.320
He woke us up.

04:25.920 --> 04:27.940
Just as the master Saxon wrote in his
poem.

04:30.140 --> 04:34.580
Martinus Luther, that you know him,
who is a Wittenbergian nightingale,

04:35.880 --> 04:37.560
he woke us up from the night.

04:38.440 --> 04:39.720
He brought us the moonlight.

04:42.220 --> 04:43.780
And now let me continue singing.

04:44.580 --> 04:47.900
In the song, Dr. Luther packed everything
that the Holy Spirit showed him against

04:47.900 --> 04:48.340
his fear.

04:49.420 --> 04:52.820
Your Dr. Luther is no better German than
your master Saxon.

04:53.360 --> 04:54.600
There will be unrest.

04:56.500 --> 04:58.790
There God will yammer forever.

05:00.820 --> 05:00.840
Damn it!

05:00.840 --> 05:01.340
God damn it!

05:02.020 --> 05:02.720
Kempner!

05:03.760 --> 05:04.440
Be quiet!

05:05.540 --> 05:06.800
There you see it.

05:07.140 --> 05:07.850
Master Saxon.

05:08.440 --> 05:09.120
There will be unrest.

05:10.600 --> 05:12.200
Why did you print your poem?

05:13.480 --> 05:15.320
For three years you didn't write anything.

05:15.500 --> 05:16.500
And then something like this.

05:16.880 --> 05:17.220
Violent.

05:18.000 --> 05:18.320
Devious.

05:19.680 --> 05:22.260
For three years I read, Mr. City Writer.

05:22.840 --> 05:24.580
Studied in the Wittenberger books.

05:24.580 --> 05:26.380
And especially in the writing.

05:26.960 --> 05:29.220
And now I know what drove me to kill
myself.

05:29.580 --> 05:30.100
Yes.

05:30.700 --> 05:32.460
But do you have to write something like
this?

05:33.200 --> 05:34.540
The whole world reads it.

05:35.440 --> 05:37.440
I don't understand you, Mr. City Writer.

05:38.040 --> 05:40.420
Five years ago you defended the
Wittenberger with a writing.

05:41.200 --> 05:42.460
You were even the first.

05:42.740 --> 05:43.980
But anonymous.

05:44.840 --> 05:45.760
Think of my position.

05:46.480 --> 05:48.960
What I write is read more quickly than the
Nuremberg affair.

05:49.400 --> 05:51.400
Who is the Nuremberg affair?

05:51.420 --> 05:53.300
How long will the Council remain in
disarray?

05:53.300 --> 05:55.120
You don't know what's at stake.

05:55.700 --> 05:59.920
The peace of our souls here on earth and
our fate there in the highest court.

06:00.060 --> 06:01.920
The peace and the fate of our city?

06:02.580 --> 06:04.520
We can't stand against the Emperor.

06:04.880 --> 06:06.600
We can't stand against Christ.

06:07.120 --> 06:07.940
You don't understand.

06:09.940 --> 06:10.540
Yes.

06:11.780 --> 06:12.960
I see what the Council is up to.

06:14.220 --> 06:15.280
You don't see anything.

06:16.000 --> 06:18.420
You have no idea what it really is about.

06:19.080 --> 06:21.100
The Reichstag is in the city.

06:21.100 --> 06:24.340
Maybe this time it will be possible to
decide the National Council.

06:25.400 --> 06:27.300
Then it will be over with the abuses.

06:27.680 --> 06:31.340
And that's why such a wonderful song can't
sound on the streets and squares of

06:31.340 --> 06:31.700
Nuremberg.

06:33.520 --> 06:35.100
Do you know the tenth stanza?

06:36.280 --> 06:36.840
Yes.

06:37.500 --> 06:38.460
I know them all.

06:39.380 --> 06:43.220
In the tenth stanza Luther draws the sum
for us Christian people.

06:43.540 --> 06:44.840
He lets Christ say to me.

06:45.660 --> 06:49.220
What I have done and taught, you should do
and teach.

06:49.220 --> 06:53.940
So that the kingdom of God will be
multiplied for praise and his honor.

07:02.020 --> 07:05.160
Don't you want everyone to live according
to Christ's teaching?

07:05.980 --> 07:08.180
And then there will be peace among us.

07:08.300 --> 07:09.320
And it will be just.

07:09.960 --> 07:11.020
And everyone will have enough.

07:11.540 --> 07:13.960
And there will be space to live,
because we have learned to share.

07:15.020 --> 07:16.220
I would like that.

07:16.940 --> 07:19.320
But the next lines...

07:19.320 --> 07:22.160
Your Nuremberg nightingale sings like a
troublemaker.

07:22.160 --> 07:24.900
And protects you from the people.

07:25.700 --> 07:28.480
Of this the noble treasure perishes.

07:28.780 --> 07:30.200
I give this to you last.

07:31.620 --> 07:32.980
Does that bother you?

07:33.520 --> 07:36.280
Oh, I know enough who will see this as a
free letter to the uprising.

07:37.380 --> 07:39.040
Didn't you hear the three godless martyrs?

07:40.160 --> 07:42.900
I know no Lord but God alone.

07:43.680 --> 07:45.660
And the farmers outside in front of the
gates of the city?

07:46.100 --> 07:48.000
And the tradesmen in the city?

07:48.400 --> 07:51.740
They will understand freedom the way they
want it.

07:51.740 --> 07:54.300
Against the nobility, against the city
council.

07:57.680 --> 07:59.820
Music for the freedom of conscience.

08:00.200 --> 08:03.740
Mr. Councilor, where will your confidence
and courage remain?

08:04.460 --> 08:08.740
Slowly, cautiously, with patience,
Master Sacks.

08:09.720 --> 08:11.140
The time is playing into our hands.

08:12.580 --> 08:15.280
The day will come when the emperor will
need the free cities.

08:16.620 --> 08:20.580
Our money, our influence and our
cleverness.

08:20.580 --> 08:22.460
Then it will be time.

08:22.900 --> 08:24.080
On the council.

08:25.420 --> 08:26.480
We must not overthrow the world.

08:28.540 --> 08:29.500
We must change the conditions.

08:31.140 --> 08:35.020
Mr. Councilor, I have seen the people on
my tour.

08:36.520 --> 08:38.520
The world is full of fear.

08:39.300 --> 08:41.440
The great painters have painted them.

08:41.980 --> 08:44.060
Master Dürer has drawn the apocalyptic
riders.

08:44.860 --> 08:46.300
We must take over the power of fear.

08:46.300 --> 08:46.800
We must take over the power.

08:48.160 --> 08:49.960
For a long time there was no means against
it.

08:50.780 --> 08:52.140
Now someone has rediscovered medicine.

08:54.140 --> 08:55.260
Listen to the song.

08:56.500 --> 08:58.560
Leave it on the streets of the city.

09:04.920 --> 09:05.500
Good.

09:07.900 --> 09:08.480
Good.

09:09.000 --> 09:09.220
Go.

09:10.460 --> 09:11.440
Say it in the chapel.

09:14.600 --> 09:16.400
But without the last verse.

09:19.340 --> 09:20.480
Sing, Kepner.

09:20.920 --> 09:21.900
Sing it loud.

09:22.200 --> 09:24.180
The song of the mercy of God.

10:45.280 --> 10:48.620
And now the 7th and then the 10th verse.

11:04.280 --> 11:09.060
What I have done for you, I want to live
for you.

11:28.910 --> 11:34.350
What I have done for you, I want to live
for you.

11:34.370 --> 11:38.530
What shall come and be.

11:39.530 --> 11:46.950
So that what belongs to you, shall be
praise and glory.

11:59.360 --> 12:02.600
What am I supposed to do here?
