 Mikulov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mikulov (-Czech, German: Nikolsburg) is a town in the Czech Republic, in the South Moravian Region.
Owing to the removal of many Jews from the city and the settlement of Christian families in the old ghetto, the majority of the school-children now (1904) are Christians, as are the principal and some of the teachers.

Nikolsburg, strategically situated half way between the Habsburg imperial capital of Vienna and the main Moravian city of Brünn, lay just inside Moravia on a major trading route.
Jews benefitted from the relatively benign regime of the Prince von Dietrichstein family, and a thriving community developed on the western slopes of the imposing hill on which stood the princely palace.
Nikolsburg, the seat of the Moravian Chief Rabbi, had a well-known Yeshiva, many synagogues and a large graveyard in which many of the famous rabbis of Moravia are buried.

 Hubmaier, Balthasar (1480?-1528)
From the cross-examination of an attendant at the Nikolsburg disputation it is learned that other subjects were also discussed there: baptism, communion, the Last Judgment, the end of the world, the new kingdom, and the coming of Christ.
The Nikolsburg disputation attracted attention far beyond the borders of Moravia, as can be seen in the "Articles from Moravia," which claim to be the teaching of the Anabaptists, but which mingle much that is false with the truth.
The conflict between Hut and Hubmaier resulted in Hubmaier's publishing his teachings in a series of pamphlets; but, assured of the powerful support of the nobility he was also able to refute earlier rumors spread by his opponents.

 Nikolsburg Cemetery Database
The Jewish community of Nikolsburg (halfway between Vienna and Brünn) was from early times the seat of the Moravian Chief Rabbi, and during the 18th and early 19th centuries it expanded to become the dominant Jewish settlement of Moravia and a great center of Jewish learning.
A big cemetery was laid out next to the ghetto and as the size of the community grew it was enlarged and also parts of it were covered over and reused.
Actually entitled "Grundbuch für den Friedhof der Israelitengemeinde Nikolsburg", the register was compiled in 1898 by the then Chevra Kadischa (burial society) under the chairmanship of Hermann Deutsch.

 Mikulov (Nikolsburg) in the 1930s
As far as life within the Jewish Community of Nikolsburg during the 1930's is concerned, I can be quite specific and will try to give you my recollections of those years up to the time when we had to pack and run.

Nikolsburg was the seat of the regional administration and weekly markets, bringing all the farmers from the region with their produce was another focal point of life.

 The Rise and Fall of the Anabapists by Belfort Bax
So the lords of Nikolsburg, the Lichtensteins, while threatening the Austrian Provost with armed resistance, should he enter their territory, sent messengers to seek out these wanderers, and to invite them to come back to their houses and homes on the assurance that nothing further should await them.
Their conscience and heart, they said, witnessed against his preachers; they even disapproved of his having resisted the Austrian Provost on their behalf, for, said they, the latter had been sent against them by those having authority, and to resist the powers that be was to resist the ordinance of God.
Hans Hut’s success at Nikolsburg, and probably at Augsburg also, was due to his championing the cause of the logical non-resistants against the more moderate temporisers.
