Although he was not an Anabaptist, the life and thought of Radical Reformer Andreas Bodenstein von Carlstadt (1486–1541), also known as Karlstadt for the town of his birth, had a strong influence on the Anabaptist movement. In 1534 he joined the faculty at the University of Basel. A professor of biblical studies at Wittenberg, Carlstadt became involved in radical changes that brought him into conflict with Luther.
