Karlstadt in May 1523 is invited by the church of Orlamünde to be its pastor, and he accepts at once.

Here he institutes all his radical reforms, and Orlamünde becomes the model of a congregationalist reformation.

Church music and art are set aside, clerical matrimony is preached, and infant baptism is rejected.

Perhaps most importantly, in Orlamünde Karlstadt denies the physical but affirms the spiritual presence of Christ in the communion.
