Augsburg, of course, was where the Lutherans in 1530 presented their basic tenet, the Augsburg Confession, which was rejected by the Catholic Church, leading to the irreconcilable rift between Protestantism and Catholicism.
Ning just Augsburg oli koht, kus luterlased kinnitasid 1530. aastal oma peamised tõekspidamised ehk Augsburgi usutunnistuse, mille katoliku kirik kõrvale heitis ning millest sai alguse lepitamatu lõhe protestantide ja katoliiklaste vahel.
