Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf
Archive of the Unity of the Brethern
The Archive of the Unity of the Brethren is the oldest archive house in Saxony. From 1727 there developed a sense of history, and documents began to be collected. The Archive was founded in 1764 after the death of Zinzendorf. Materials have been collected from around the world and are housed here. A library of all publications worldwide of the Moravian Church and of Moravian authors is stored here including letters, mission reports, memoirs, and congregation diaries. The Archive collections are available for research. On the front of the Archive is this plaque, which reads,
