German princes supported Martin Luther's idea because some shared the same beliefs and others just supported for selfish reasons.
.
Answer
In England, Henry VIII declared himself head of the Church, and thus confiscated all the Catholic Church's property, distributing houses and land (and effects) to his nobility as a reward for good behavior. In the Holy Roman Empire, the princes of different kingdoms differed in belief, but one over-riding belief in those that turned against the Church was that they would prefer to keep all their income themselves instead of supporting a Pope in Rome. Those that accepted Martin Luther's urging to become "Evangelists" - his term for his new Church, emphasising a return to the purity of the New Testament - as rewritten and interpreted by Martin Luther) became defacto head of the Church's in their kingdoms - gaining an immense amount of land, buildings, income, and effects at practically no effort - a stupendous reward to apostatize!

How did German princes help the cause of martin Luther?
German princes played a crucial role in supporting Martin Luther's cause by providing him protection and political backing against the Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire. Many princes, particularly in the northern regions, were sympathetic to Luther's ideas and saw an opportunity to gain autonomy from the Church and increase their own power. By officially endorsing Lutheranism, these princes not only protected Luther but also established Protestantism as a legitimate religious movement, leading to the eventual fragmentation of the Catholic Church's influence in Germany. Their support helped spread Reformation ideas and facilitated the establishment of Lutheran state churches.
