Deutsche Messe

Deutsche Messe ("German Mass"; full title: Deutsche Messe und Ordnung des Gottesdiensts, "German Mass and Order of Worship") was published by Martin Luther in 1526. It followed his work Formula missae from the year 1523, pertaining to the celebration of a Latin mass. Both of these masses were meant only as suggestions made on request and were not expected to be used exactly as they were, but could be altered. The function of the mass, according to Luther, is to make people hear the word.

This article is about the early Lutheran liturgy. For the Schubert work, see Deutsche Messe (Schubert). For the trade fair operator, see Deutsche Messe AG.

The German Mass was completely chanted, except for the sermon.
