Nikolaus Storch

Nikolaus Storch (born pre-1500, died after 1536) is a weaver and radical lay-preacher in the Saxon town of Zwickau.

He and his followers, known as the ‘Zwickau Prophets’ play a brief role during the early German Reformation years in southeast Saxony, and there is a view that he was a forerunner of the Anabaptists.

In the years 1520-1521, he works closely with the radical theologian Thomas Müntzer.
