# Molotschna 1812 · Anabaptist history · Overview Klaas Reimer and fellow Mennonites organized Kleine Gemeinde in 1812, seeking reform in church discipline and life. Later renewal and home gatherings formed the setting of the Mennonite Brethren movement of 1860. These developments belong to different branches of the settlement’s church history. Their pages explain the people, convictions, and later migrations, rather than treating all congregations from Molotschna as one body. - [Mennonite Heritage Archives: early Chortitza correspondence](https://www.mharchives.ca/documents-regarding-the-early-chortitza-mennonite-settlement/) - [Supplied timeline photograph 9378](https://github.com/trueChristian/history.truechristian.church/blob/main/sources/church-history/photos/IMG_9378.jpg) - [Supplied timeline photograph 9379](https://github.com/trueChristian/history.truechristian.church/blob/main/sources/church-history/photos/IMG_9379.jpg) --- Page: https://history.truechristian.church/en/places/molotschna/ [Contribute a correction or addition](https://github.com/trueChristian/history.truechristian.church/issues/new?title=Correction%3A+Molotschna&body=%23%23+Page+or+topic%0AMolotschna%0A%0APage%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fhistory.truechristian.church%2Fen%2Fplaces%2Fmolotschna%2F%0A%0ARecord%3A+molotschna%0A%0ADate+currently+shown%3A+1812+%C2%B7+Anabaptist+history%0A%0A%23%23+Correction+or+addition%0A%0A%0A%0A%23%23+Sources+and+evidence%0APlease+include+book%2Fpage+references%2C+archive+links%2C+or+first-hand+documentation.%0A%0A%0A%0A%23%23+Image+credit+%28if+applicable%29%0ACreator%2C+source%2C+and+permission+or+public-domain+basis.%0A%0A%0A%0ASubmitted+for+review%3B+this+issue+does+not+publish+changes+automatically.)
