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 to Huttertal in the Molotschna Mennonite region northwest of the Sea of Azov in Taurida province of south Russia (now the Ukraine). 1842-1874 ...

This is the typical Database Formatting Scheme used below: German Language ..... Place Name Hungarian Language .......... Place Name Slavic Language ............... Place Name Romanian Language .................... Place Name Location ......................... Country 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.
