I have planned a trip to visit Germany in about 7 weeks. I am interested in visiting Schwarzenau, Bad Berleburg, Germany, the site where Alexander Mack baptized 8 people in the Eder. Does anyone know if a memorial stands marking the site? Was a Brethren church established in or near the area where I could attend the Sunday service? A couple of days will be spent in Hirzel, Zurich, Switzerland, visiting the site memorializing the execution of Hans Landis. I'd be very interested to learn of other historical, Anabaptist sites to visit, as well. Thanks. Kim Garrison Weyers Cave, VA

In the little town of Fankhaus which is south of Berne and Langnau and Trub, you will drive out to a farm called Hinter Hutten which is a museum in a home where Mennonites hid out from the Reformers. I was amazed to find a history of the Mennonites of the region in the barn and the story of persecution can be found on video and books for sale.

Regula Fankhauser is related to a number of Pennsylvania brethren. Ulric Zug came from this area and their next door neighbors are still Zaugg's. Museum of the Reformation in Geneva is good. Have fun. Ray Hoff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim D.
