Life

Paul Mönch was born in the Bohemian town of Schlackenwerth as the son of Barthel Mönch. In 1600 he studied at the University of Leipzig . After completing his studies, he worked as a chaplain in Tetschen and since 1609 a preacher's assistant in Paunsdorf near Leipzig. On September 13, 1610, Mönch took the position of second deacon in the Bohemian St. Joachimsthal alongside the former pastor of Abertham Gregor Richter , after the pastor Theophil Pistorius and two deacons had died there within six months.

In the course of the Counter-Reformation, the three Joachimsthal clergy were forced by the competent captain Christoph Graf von Grünenberg against the will of the city council in August 1624 to resign from their offices. The pastor Jakob Schober was invited to the council meeting with his deacons Gregor Richter and Paul Münch. Here they made the following statement: “... that they had incited to rebellion, they knew innocently, they had taught according to God's word, as they owe it to their class. If the archbishop left them with the Augsburg Confession, they would surrender. The fact that they are wisely taken out of their apartment would be wrong to everyone ... (they) hope that the council (will) care for them in their need in the future ... ” Mönch used a one-day reflection period to convert to the neighboring Oberwiesenthal in Saxony.

In 1627 he is proven as a deacon in Frankenberg near Flöha . Most recently he was pastor at the Johanniskirche in Leipzig, where he gave his inaugural sermon on December 25, 1628. He died of the plague on September 1, 1637.
