or CARLOSTADT (Andrew Bodenstein), one of the Reformers, was a canon and archdeacon at Wittenberg when he became acquainted with Luther, who converted Carlostadt to his opinions. He was associated with the great Reformer in his early struggles against the Romish Church; but differing from him in regard to the Eucharist, and afterwards being suspected of favouring the Anabaptists, his intimacy with Luther was broken, and a partial reconciliation was effected only a short while before his death. He was for some time minister at Orlamund in Thuringia, but afterwards professor at Zurich and Basle, at which latter place he died in 1541 or 1543. He was the first Reformer who entered into the matrimonial state.
