Hans Denck (ca. 1495–1527) was a theologian and Anabaptist leader. Denck was born in 1495 in the Bavarian town of Habach. In 1525 he went to Augsburg where he met Balthasar Hubmaier who impressed him very much and who most probably baptized him. After attending what later became known as the Martyrs’ Synod in Augsburg, he returned to Basel where he died in 1527 of bubonic plague.
