Edit ProfileCareer
In 1644, Christian who was an Anabaptist preacher may have been part of a great "Täufer Jagen" (Baptist Hunt) along with Uli Zaugg and Uli Neuhaus. They were all captured and placed in Thun Castle, where the authorities were warned to keep obstinate preachers out of Emmenthal valley (where the Eggiwil is located). Authorities arrested and exiled anyone who was thought to a follower or support of the Anabaptist movement.
A few months after his exile, (April 6, 1672) Christian died of old age in Dirmstein, Germany.
He was 93 years old.
