What happened
All Anabaptists were ordered out of Alsace; Ammann vanished from the record, but the Hochstetler family stayed. The stream of Bernese refugees turned to the Jura (Prince-Bishopric of Basel), allowed only on leased land above about 1,000 m — the origin of the Sonnenberg and Münsterberg congregations.
