Answer: Obviously, Luther was considered to be heretic and was summoned to defend his theses.
Explanation: Luther, "the little monk" from Germany threatened the profitable system of indulgences and the Roman Catholic Church had to respond.
Luther was subsequently called to debate high-ranking Catholic theologians, such as Cardinal Cajetan in Augsburg (1518) and Johann Eck in Leipzig (1519) and surprised everyone with his refusal to change his views.
On the contrary, Luther even expanded his critique of the church in Rome with three major pieces in 1520. In these important documents, Luther publicly questioned the infallibility and authority of the Pope, critiqued central Roman Catholic doctrines, and he defended the priesthood of all believers. Of course, the Pope was not amused. In his papal bull, Exsurge Domine, he declared that Luther was a “wild boar that had invaded the Lord’s vineyard,” and called Luther to recant his views. Not intimidated at the slightest, Luther burned the bull and was subsequently excommunicated.
Economic - During World War 1, the German economy was completely decimated. Massive hyperinflation there is so terrible that when employees receive three daily paychecks, their spouses merely spend the money on everything they can since prices are so high. And although its economy was in ruin, Germany had to provide reparations to the people it was fighting. And to top it all off, there is the great depression.
Political - Although it is far from the truth, the Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to take full responsibility for the war. The pact also required Germany to lose a sizable portion of its territory to neighboring nations including Poland, France, Belgium, and a few others. German speakers and people of German descent populated several of these countries. It becomes worse since one of Woodrow Wilson's 14 principles called for self-determination for all nations save Germany, including Austro-Hungary, a German ally.
Social - The aforementioned political motives caused many Germans to feel exploited for other people's political objectives. So it should come as no surprise that they chose a radical candidate when you repress a people like that.
