Summary
In the course of the introduction of Protestant theology, the magistrate sought to close the many monasteries in Strasbourg, which Martin Luther had ruled not compliant with the new doctrine. However, a small number of monasteries survived, some well into the 17th century. The author compares dissolved and surviving convents, seeking an answer to the question of which factors enabled a community to sustain Catholic life in a Protestant environment.
