About Melchior Nitschmann
Melchior Nitschmann (1702-1729), a weaver by trade, had, with his father, led a house church of the Bohemian Brethren/Ancient Unity. Melchior became on the first four elders of the Renewed Moravian Church at Herrnhut on May 12, 1727. Another elder was Christian David (1690-1751). These two elders were away on a mission trip to Hungary on August 13, 1727, the Moravian Pentecost, at Herrnhut. The following year Melchior and one George Schmidt were missionaries in Moravia when Austrian officials detained them. Melchior died in Schmidt’s arms on February 27, 1729, in a prison at Schildberg, Moravia. Schmidt remained incarcerated for five more years. He, a free man again, continued as a missionary.
