Friedrich Engels

The Peasant War in Germany by Friedrich Engels is a short account of the early 16th-century uprisings known as the German Peasants` War (1524–25). It was written by Engels in London during the summer of 1850, following the revolutionary uprisings of 1848–49, to which it frequently refers in a comparative fashion. `Three centuries have flown by since then,` he writes, `and many a thing has changed; still the peasant war is not as far removed from our present-day struggles as it would seem, and the opponents we have to encounter remain essentially the same.`

Engels praises the historian Wilhelm Zimmermann`s book The History of the Great Peasant War (1841-1843) as `the best compilation of factual data` regarding the Peasant War of 1525 and acknowledges that most of the material relating to the peasant revolts and to Thomas Müntzer has been taken from Zimmermann`s book. The Peasant War in Germany originally appeared in the fifth and sixth issues of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung-Revue, a political economic review edited by Karl Marx in Hamburg, and was later reissued in book forms.
