Background The Hutterites are a small pacifist Anabaptist religious group that
suffered persecution from both Catholic and Protestant religious and civil authorities in
Europe for almost four centuries before migrating to South Dakota and Canada. Their
namesake - Jacob Hutter, chief pastor of the Tyrolese Anabaptists - was captured in Moravia
and publicly burned at the stake in Innsbruck Austria (on orders of the Holy Roman Emperor,
Hapsburg King Ferdinand I of Austria) on February 25, 1536. This was part of the concerted
effort to exterminate Anabaptist and other heresy "by fire and sword" by the Hapsburg
Empire in conjunction with the Catholic Church.
Hutterite Migrations Acording to professor Hostetler, Hans Hut was re-baptised in
1526. The first death penalty for Anabaptists dates to 1 March 1526 (Zurich). By 1520 is is
estimated that over 1,000 Anabaptists (including Hutterites, Mennonites and Swiss Bretheren)
had been exectuted by the Hapsburg fire and/or sword.
Hutterites were known to be in the following locations during the indicated time periods:
1526-1528 ... South Tyrol (then Austria, now Italy)
1528 ............ Migration of Hutterite refugees to Moravia
1528-1621 ... Settlement of Hutterite colonies in Moravia and Slovakia
1621 ............ Migration of Hutterites to Transylvania (then Hungary, now Romania)
1621-1767 ... Settlement in colonies in Transylvania
1755 ............ Mirgration of Hutterite refugees from Carinthia to Transylvania
1767 ............ Migration of Hutteries to Wallachia (southern Romania)
1767-1770 ... Colonies of Hutterites in Wallachia
1770 ............ Migration of Hutterites to province of Tchernigov, Russia (Ukraine)
1770-1802 ... Hutterite Bruderhof colony on private estate at Vishenka
1802-1842 ... Moved to Russian crownland in nearby Radichev, Russia.
1842 ............ Migration to Huttertal in the Molotschna Mennonite region northwest of the Sea
of Azov in Taurida province of south Russia (now the Ukraine).
1842-1874 ... Hutterite Buderhof colonies near the Molotschna region
1874 ............ First Hutterite Migration to the U.S.A. (to Bon Homme County, South
Dakota). Most later moved to Canada (Alberta, Manatoba and Saskatchewan provinces).

Webmaster Note: Diacritical Marks in Place Names: Every effort has been
made (within the limits of the "ISO Latin 1 character set" used in HTML) to present
diacritical marks on the first listing of a place name. However several slavic diacritical
characters are not available in ISO Latin 1 - i.e. they are not available to be posted and read
by all browsers on the WWW.
A second place name listing is always presented to assure that our internal web site search
engine (which does not recognize diacritical marks) will locate this place name's page when
the name is spelled without diacritical marks.
Where a Germanic umlaut is used, the place name is listed here three ways: With the umlaut,
with the "ae, "oe" version and a third listing (without the e or the umlaut) to accomodate
those persons who are unaware of the correct European spelling.
