Christoph Langenmantel or Christoph Langenmantel vom Sparren (1488, in
Augsburg – 17 May 1538, in
Ingolstadt) was a nobleman,
Carmelite friar, canon of
Freising and a supporter of
Martin Luther.
Christoph's brother Sigmund (died 1545) was a judge and
pfleger in
Kelheim, where his epitaph survives in the Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt.[3] Another brother,
Ulrich (died 1570) worked on the councils of Bavaria and Baden-Baden as well as
hofmeister and one of the Catholic guardians of
count Philibert.[4][5]
His sister Maria was a Benedictine nun at
Holzen Abbey and was its abbess between 1538 and 1553.[6][7]
After the
Diet of AugsburgMartin Luther had to appear at the
Fuggerhäuser in 1518 before cardinal
Thomas Cajetan to answer for his 95 theses. He arrived in the city on 7 October and left on 20 October - during his stay he lived in the same abbey as Langenmantel, who took care of him and gave him advice.[14] On 12–14 October negotiations took place between Luther and Cajetan, but he refused to revoke his theses, putting him in real danger of arrest. Christoph's father Georg was then serving as mayor and on the night of 19–20 October Christoph led Luther through a secret gate in the city wall to escape.[15][16] According to tradition, Christoph said "Da hinab" ("Down there") when they reached the gate - it is still named after that phrase, as recorded in an inscription there.[17][18][19] Luther sent him a letter of thanks from
Wittenberg on 25 November 1518.[20]
Despite his sympathy for Luther and his concerns, Christoph Langenmantel did not convert to
Protestantism.
