Staudacher, Hans (d. 1546)

Hans Staudach(er) (Staudtach), a Hutterite martyr of Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, Germany, was seized in Austria with Anthoni Keim, Blasius Beckh, and Leonhard Schneider when they with their wives and children were on their way to Moravia. After a steadfast cross-examination he was beheaded on 22 November 1546, in Vienna. The Lieder der Hutterischen Brüder contains two of his songs (pp. 128 ff.), "Hilf Gott, das uns gelinge" and "O Christe rein du bist allein," while a third, "Ich freu mich dein, O Vater mein," is to be found in Pressburg, Codex 236 (according to the Lieder, p. 128). Songs were written about him by Hans Gurtzham, Wolf Sailer, and Christoff Scheffman. The first of these appears in Lieder, p. 136 f.
