DeutschPaul Wiener
Paul Wiener was the first superintendent, or head, of the Transylvanian Saxons' Evangelical Church (in the Kingdom of Hungary) from 1553 to 1556.[1] He started his career as a canon at the Catholic Ljubljana Cathedral, but he became an ardent supporter of Martin Luther's theology.[2] In 1547, he was arrested. After he refused to reject his Evangelical views, he was exiled from Carniola.[2][3]
