GEDCOM Note

The Anabaptist movement existed in Bern, Switzerland, by 1525, and by 1527, the Anabaptists were already being persecuted by the government. The first Anabaptist mandates were implemented on August 14, 1527; the Anabaptists were ordered to desist on pain of drowning. Oppression of the Anabaptists continued into the next century, with 1671 marking the worst year.

The Dutch Mennonites supported immigration to the Palatinate by the Swiss Anabaptist/Mennonites. On 5/3/1671, the magistrate of Signau received orders from Bern to seize Anabaptists of Eggiwil, imprison them in Bern, and then exile them from Switzerland. Eggiwil refused to permit the arrests, as many of them were Mennonites themselves. Then, twelve of the wealthiest residents of Eggiwil were sent to Bern as hostages until the Anabaptists agreed to go to the Bern prison or leave Switzerland. On 10/16/1671, the Reformed pastor of Eggiwil reported that the Anabaptists had left the community. On November 2, 1671, a group of 700 Anabaptist emigrants from Bern arrived in the Palatinate, among them Christian Stauffer and members of his family.
