Dirck Pietersz Van Nierop
Dirck Pietersz van Nierop (1540 – 1610) was a Mennonite minister from North Holland who became notable for founding a branch of Mennonites in Amsterdam called the "Young Frisians" (''Jonge Friezen''). Nierop was born in Nieuwe Niedorp. After becoming minister, he worked to keep the Dutch Mennonite community together as it was experiencing a culture clash between the Flemish Mennonites and Frisian Mennonites. At a meeting in Hoorn in 1589 where this came to a crisis, he represented the Frisians but was banned from his Mennonite community ''Doopsgezinde Gemeente der Friezen'' altogether for what the Mennonites of Hoorn saw as his overly strict practise of Frisian Mennonite beliefs. After being banned, he formed a splinter group called the Young Frisians. Soon after however, he seems to have changed his mind, as he then moved to Amsterdam where he joined the other opposing group called the Waterlanders under the guidance of Lubbert Gerritsz. Nierop took on the name Hoogsaet or Hoo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Niedorp
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

This era gave rise to important new genres. Like many artists of the Dutch Golden Age, such a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
