Constance was not only the scene of the Council. It also joined the Reformation in 1522 (until 1548). On their journey through Switzerland, pilgrims encounter a great diversity of denominations and some traces of religious conflict. Reformed areas, influenced by the Zurich reformer Zwingli, alternate with Catholic regions. Finally, Calvin worked in Geneva. Disputes between Reformed and Catholic churches were bitter in Switzerland. As late as 1847, these even led to a military confrontation during the Sonderbund War. For its part, the official Reformed Church suppressed movements that espoused a different religious view, such as the Anabaptists, for centuries.
For these reasons, it makes sense to combine a walk through Constance with the work of two witnesses to the faith: At Katzgasse 7 (50 meters from Münsterplatz) is the birthplace and home of the Constance reformer Ambrosius Blarer. Further along Schwabenweg, at Hussenstrasse 64, is the Hus House, a museum and memorial dedicated to Johannes Hus, who was burned at the stake here in 1415.
