He was responsible for the policy of Strassburg during the Peasants' War; represented the city at the Diet of Spires in 1526; and at subsequent Diets gained fame by his ardent championship of its interests
.
As an advocate of union among theProtestants he took part in the conference at Marburg in 1529; but when the attempts to close the breach between Lutherans and Zwinglia.ns failed, he presented the Confessio letrapolitana, a Zwinglian document, to the Augsburg Diet of 1530

when the league attacked Charles V. in 1546; but in February 1547 the citizens were compelled to submit, when Sturm succeeded in securing very favourable terms from the emperor
.
He was also able to obtain for his native city some modification of the Interim issued from Augsburg in May 1548
