Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

Zinzendorf and Dresden

This portrait shows the young Count Zinzendorf in Saxon court dress, a blue coat with silver breastplate. He was born in Dresden. Now he has assumed an administrative position in the Saxon government in Dresden. At the same time he became the lord of his own manor at Berthelsdorf in Upper Lusatia, where he lived part of the time, with his young wife Erdmuth Dorothea. In Dresden he had a meeting in his home to discuss the Bible and to fellowship about spiritual matters. He also published a periodical critical of the times and of the Church, called The Dresden Socrates. In 1727 he resigned his court office in Dresden and settled in Herrnhut.
