A Search for Clues] In 2025, the Anabaptist movement, which emerged in the wake of the Reformation, looks back on a 500-year history. Anabaptist ideas spread in many regions of Europe during the early 16th century - including Bavaria. Despite harsh persecution, congregations were able to form in which a wide variety of Anabaptist preachers ministered. Frequently, they paid for this ministry with their lives. But it was not only in the 16th century that Bavaria was important for the Anabaptists, from whom the Mennonites, the Amish and the Hutterites developed. During the 19th century, Elector Maximilian I Joseph intensified the settlement and reclamation of many mossy areas of Bavaria, Mennonites and Amish from the Electoral Palatinate then immigrated here. This anthology is the first to present an overview of Anabaptist life in Bavaria. It focuses on various aspects. These range from questions concerning Anabaptist identity to persecution, emigration and immigration, and the role of present-day Anabaptist congregations in ecumenism.
