David Nitschmann der Syndikus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Nitschmann der Syndikus (David Nitschmann the Syndic, September 20, 1703, Zauchtenthal/Suchdol nad Odrou - March 28, 1779, Zeist) was a Czech-born Moravian missionary.

He tried to convert natives in Sri Lanka.

He became a leading member of the executive boards of the Herrnhuter or Moravian Brethren and often led negotiations with governments, hence his title "Syndicus".

His son was Christian David Nitschmann[1].
