Zwickau Prophets. A group of early Anabaptists who tried to establish a community of the elect at Zwickau, an industrial town in S. Saxony. N. Storch was one of their leaders who visited Wittenberg in 1521 and impressed P. Melanchthon and N. von Amsdorf. Their influence survived at Zwickau into the 1530s.
