The Thirty Years’ War (1618–48) was a religious and political disaster which had repercussions far beyond the Empire. Sweden’s involvement coincided with the start of its infamous Great Period [Stormaktstiden] and the Danish king was affected through his possession of land in Northern Germany. Denmark’s direct involvement from 1625 lasted until their defeat in 1629. In this dire situation, attempts at reform were manifold, and some of the most significant were formulated as projections of ideal societies, as future Jerusalems. One of them was Johann Valentin Andreae’s Christianopolis from 1619, perhaps the most famous among the Protestant utopias.
