Hutterite colonies in montana map Continue Three groups of Hutterites are located exclusively in the breadbasket or prairies of North America. Hutterites have subsisted almost entirely on agriculture since migrating to North America in 1874 which helps explain their geographical locations. All of Schmideleut's colonies are located in central North America, mainly in Manitoba and South Dakota. There are several colonies in North Dakota and Minnesota. Darius and Lehrer-leut are located in western North America, mainly in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Montana with spraying colonies in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. Most colonies are located in Alberta (168), followed by Manitoba (107), Saskatchewan (60) and South Dakota (54).

The founder of the Hutterites, Jacob Hatter, created a Hutterite colony based on the Schleitheim confession, a classic adaptist statement of faith in 1527, the first communes were formed in 1528. After Hatter's death in 1536, the beliefs of the Hatterites, especially those living in the community of goods and insatiability, led to hundreds of years of diasporaism in many countries. They began a series of migrations through Central and Eastern Europe. Almost extinct by the 18th century, the Hutterites migrated to Russia in 1770 and about a hundred years later to North America. Within 140 years, their population, living in a community of goods, has now recovered from about 400 to about 50,000. Today, almost all Hutterites live in Western Canada and the upper Great Plains of the United States. History Spread of early anabaptists, 1525-1550 Impeachment Bill Beginning Home article: Anabaptism Anabaptist movement, from which hutterites came out, began in groups that formed after the early Reformation in Switzerland led by Huldrych Tswingli (1484-1531). These new groups were part of the Radical Reformation, which moved away from the teachings of the Church of Switzerland and the Swiss Reformation Church. On January 21, 1525, Konrad Grebel (c. 1498-1526) and Jorge Blarock (c. 1491-1529) practiced the baptism of adults to each other and then to others. From Switzerland, Anabaptism quickly spread to the north and east, at times in just one year. Baltasar Hubmayer (about 1480-1528), a Bavarian from Friedberg, became an anebaptist in the city of zurich in 1525, but fled to Nikolsburg in Moravia in May 1526. Other early Anabaptists who became important to the new Hutterites, were Hans Denk (c. 1500-1527), Hans Huth (1490-1527), Hans Schlaffer († 1528), Leonhard Schimer (about 1500-1528), Ambrosius Spittelmayr (1497-1528) and Jacob Widemann († 1536). Most of these early anabapitists soon became martyrs of their faith. Tyrol Anabaptism seems to have come to Tyrol through the writings of Jarg Blaurock. Like the German peasant war, the Gasmair uprising created the foundation, creating hope for social justice. Michael Gasmeer tried to carry out religious, political and economic reforms through a violent peasant uprising, but the movement was suppressed. Although there is little hard evidence of a direct link between the Gasmeer uprising and Tyrolean anabaptism, at least some of the peasants involved in the uprising later became anabptists. While the link between violent social revolution and unsustainable anabaptism is hard to imagine, the common link was the desire for radical change in prevailing social injustice. Frustrated by the failure of the armed uprising, anbaptist ideals peaceful, simple society probably resonated on the ears of disillusioned peasants. Before Athabapism was introduced in southern Tyrol, Protestant ideas were spread in the region by people such as Hans Visher, a former Dominican. Some of those who participated in the monasteries where Protestant ideas were later presented became Anabaptists. In addition, the population as a whole seemed to have a favorable attitude to reform, whether Protestant or anabaptist. George Blaurock seems to have preached errant in the Puster Valley region in 1527, which was most likely the first introduction of anabaptist ideas in the area. Another visit through the area in 1529 reinforced these ideas, but it was captured and burned at the stake in Clausen on September 6, 1529. Jacob Hatter was one of the first converts in Southern Tyrol and later became a leader among the Hutterites who got their name from him. Hatter made several trips between Moravia and Tyrol, and most of the Anabapists in southern Tyrol emigrated to Moravia because of the brutal persecution unleashed by Ferdinand I. In November 1535, Hatter was captured near Clausen and taken to Innsbruck, where he was burned at the stake on 25 February 1536. By 1540, athabapism in southern Tyrol had begun to die out, mainly due to the emigration to Moravia of converts due to continued persecution. Moravia and Hungary In the 16th century in Moravia there was a significant degree of religious tolerance, because in the 15th century there were several proto-Protestant movements and upheavals (Czech Brothers, Utraquists, Picards, Small Unity) in the Czech Republic and Moravia because of the teachings of Jan Gus (c. 1369-1415). Thus, Moravia, where Hubmeyer also took refuge, was the land where the persecuted forerunners of the Hatterites fled, originating mainly from different places today in southern Germany, Austria and southern Tyrol. Under the leadership of Jacob Hatter in 1530-1535, they developed a communal life form that distinguishes them from other Athabapists such as Mennonites and Amish. The community life of the Hutterites is based on the New Testament books on the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 2 (especially verse 44), 4 and 5) and 2 Corinthians. The basic principle of Hutterite groups has always been the failure to prohibit its members from taking part in military activities, taking orders from military personnel, wearing formal uniforms (e.g. a soldier or a policeman) or paying taxes to be spent on war. This led to the expulsion or persecution of several lands in which they lived. In Moravia, the Hutterites prospered for several decades; period between 1554 and 1565 was called good and the period between 1565 and 1592 was called golden. During this time, the Hutterites upper Hungary, present-day Slovakia. At that time until 1622 about 100 settlements, called Bruderhof, were developed in Moravia and the Kingdom of Hungary, and the number of hutterites reached twenty to thirty thousand. In 1593, the Long Turkish War began, which greatly influenced the Hutterites and lasted until 1606. During this war, in 1605, some 240 Hutterites were kidnapped by the Ottoman Turkish army and their Tatar allies and sold into Ottoman slavery. Before the Hatterites were able to recover their resources, the Thirty-Year War (1618-1648) broke out and soon turned into a war of religion, when in 1620 the Protestant Czech Republic and Moravia were captured by the Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand II, a Catholic who destroyed and looted several Hutterite settlements. In 1621, the bubonic plague followed the war and killed a third of the remaining Hutterites. The resumption of persecution followed the Habsburgs' seizure of Czech lands in 1620 and eventually destroyed them there as an Anabapisite group. In 1622, the Hutterites were driven out of Moravia and fled to the Hutterite settlements in Hungary, which became completely overcrowded, causing serious difficulties. Some Moravian Hutterites converted to Catholicism and retained a separate ethnic identity as Habans (German: Habaner) until the 19th century (by the end of World War II, the Haban group had essentially become extinct). In 1621, Gabrielt Bethlen, Prince of Transylvania and a Calvinist, invited the Hutterites to come to their country. In fact he forced a group of 186 Hutterites to come to Alvinz (today Vințu de Jose, Romania) in 1622 because he needed artisans and agricultural workers to develop his land. Over the next two years, a total of 690 or 1,089 people migrated to Transylvania, according to sources.
