Danzig and the Vistula region

Mennonite settlements in the Vistula region linked Dutch congregations with later migration to the Russian Empire.

Also searchable as: Danzig · Vistula · Prussia · Prussian

Danzig and the surrounding region appear on the supplied chart as a home of Mennonite congregations with Dutch backgrounds. The separate Flemish and Frisian lines continued in this setting.

Letters preserved in the Mennonite Heritage Archives connect these congregations with the early Chortitza settlement. The linked church histories follow the migration while preserving the community names used on the chart.
