Kolb, Peter (17th/18th century)Peter Kolb (Petrus Petter) was in the first half of the 18th century the elder of the Kriegsheim Mennonite congregation in the Palatinate, Germany. In 1709 he visited the Netherlands; presumably he was the confidential agent of the Dutch Mennonite Committee of Foreign Needs of Amsterdam. In 1731 he was invited to give information to the Amsterdam Committee concerning the needs of the congregations in the Palatinate. BibliographyHege, Christian and Christian Neff.
