The struggle for freedom, equality and participation

Exactly 501 years ago, rebellious peasants formulated one of the earliest written programs of freedom and demands in Europe with the "12 Articles" (1525). Between 1524 and 1526, people in the Peasants' War fought for personal freedom as well as political and religious participation - issues that were far ahead of their time and still have an impact today.
