Dirckgen Tasch (d. ca. 1535)
Dirckgen Tasch (Dirck or Derk Tasschemaker), originally from Amsterdam, was a little known Anabaptist leader in the Netherlands in its earliest period. In 1534 he was active in preaching and baptizing in Leeuwarden and Emden. Later on he lived in Antwerp, where he died in late 1534 or early 1535. His prophecy in the summer of 1534 that after a darkness of three days the Lord would give the city of Amsterdam to the Anabaptists without bloodshed, is evidence of his eschatological, but peaceful ideas.
