Florian Geyer (also translated as Florian Geyer) was a peasant insurgent leader during the German Peasants’ War of the 16th century. Engels documented part of Geyer’s military actions in his work “The German Peasants’ War” and explained the historical significance of the 16th-century German Peasants’ War. Combining this with the situation at the time (1848 Revolution), he pointed out to the German proletariat that “awakening this class (peasants) and attracting it to participate in the movement is the primary and most urgent task of the German workers’ movement.”
