When Landgrave Philipp convened the important meeting in 1539 in the water fortress of Ziegenhain that led to the introduction of confirmation, a predecessor church to today's Castle Church still stood on Paradeplatz. The Strasbourg theologian Martin Bucer was to find a compromise in the dispute with the Anabaptists. Bucer's Church Discipline ultimately stipulated that children should be baptized, instructed in the faith, examined, and subsequently reaffirmed. Thus, with the Ziegenhain Church Discipline of 1539, confirmation was introduced here, a practice that continues worldwide today!
