# Mennonite aid to refugees at Wismar

Winter 1553–1554 · Overview

During the winter of 1553–1554, Mennonites at Wismar helped Reformed refugees whose ship had become ice-bound. The supplied overview remembers practical assistance across a difference of confession.

The same caption places the episode beside Menno Simons’s later refuge near Oldesloe in Holstein. Together the accounts show hospitality and protection as lived parts of the communities’ history, alongside their preaching and written teaching.
