Hans Friedrich Küntsche (Küentsche), originally of Württemberg, Germany (according to Bossert the name must have been Kundscher or Kundscheer, named in the records of 1609), was a Hutterite brother who served as a preacher from 1641 and died 1659 in Kesselsdorf, Slovakia. He was the most outstanding author of (written) sermons, usually called Vorreden and Lehren by the Hutterites (see Sermons, Hutterites). He more than anyone else promoted the system of writing down sermons for each Sunday and other occasions. The Klein-Geschichtsbuch mentions frequently "pious and inspired teachers at Gesselsdoff" who produced sermons, excerpts of which Johannes Waldner inserted in his chronicle (Zieglschmid, 204-221). The modern Hutterites in Canada still have some of the original sermon-notebooks signed "H. F.
