Hermann Barge (1870-1941), a professor at the university of Leipzig, historian, was author of the excellent work, <em>Andreas Bodenstein von Karlstadt </em>(Leipzig, 1906), which throws much light on the relations and contacts of [[Karlstadt, Andreas Rudolff-Bodenstein von (1486-1541) |Karlstadt]] with the [[Anabaptism|Anabaptists]], making it very valuable for the student of Mennonite beginnings.

In other publications, as in the Münchener Allgemeinen Zeitung (10 August 1900), in an article on "Sozialethische Strömungen des angehenden Mittelalters," he spoke appreciatively of the research of Ludwig Keller, and expressed a very favorable opinion of the old-evangelical church movement. The same attitude was seen in his discussion of Karl Rembert's book, Die "Wiedertäufer" im Herzogtum Jülich. In Studium Lipsiense (published in honor of Karl Lamprecht, Berlin, 1909), his article, "Der Streit über die Grundlagen der religiösen Erneuerung in der Kontroverse zwischen Luther und Karlstadt, 1524-1525," disclosed his fundamental attitude toward research in church history, in which his verdict on A.
