    Notes:

    “Sebastian Reidiger became the manager of the Lords of Dungern at the estate at Ottenweier in 1763. With his family he had come from the valley of Emmental in the Kanton of Bern in Switzerland. He belonged to the Anabaptist movement, the Mennonites. In the Ottenweier estate records as in the community records the name Reidiger has also been spelled as: Reitiger, Reitenger, Riediger, Rediger, Rodiger, Reutiger and Reudinger. As did his predecessor, the Mennonite Johann Georg Rieder who managed the estate from 1720-1763, Sebastian (Basch) Reidiger, conducted religious meetings at the estate and at the close by forest, the Anabaptist forest, for his family and the hired hands. There, one can still find a huge, round table made from sandstone on which the adult baptismal candidates have been registered.”

    Notes:

    “Lived near Boltigen in the Simmental in the Emmental, Bern, SW. Theirs was a Reformed family. As a young man he worked as a farmhand on an Amish Mennonite farm near Hornbach in the Palatinate, near Zweibrücken. By his acquaintances with the Mennonites he became so convinced of their faith that he asked to be allowed to join the church--which he did. After an interrogation by the Reformed Church Council he was expelled on July 16, 1739, because he would not return to the Reformed faith and he had to leave the country. He went to Baden where he lived on the Ottenweierhof of the Lord von Dungren, near Lahr and Ichenheim.”
