Maria Gottliebin Kummer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maria Gottliebin Kummer , called Kummerin (born August 5, 1756 in Mainzisch Cleebronn; † February 24, 1828 in Neu-Cleebronn or Alt-Cleebronn), was a radical pietist visionary. Due to her expectation of the second coming of Christ, she supported early on the tendency of Württemberg people to emigrate to Asia in the direction of the Holy Land, which later increased as a result of the famine years 1816/1817. She influenced Juliane von Krüdener , who, because of her relationship with Emperor Alexander I of Russia , is said to have had a certain influence on the formation of the Holy Alliance .

  1. This place was on 3 January 1785 of Württemberg since 1811 and because of this new territorial belonging "Neu-Cleebronn" called in contrast to the least since 1367 Württemberg Cleebronn, which in 1811 was named "Alt-Cleebronn".
  2. It is not known whether the place of death was "Neu-Cleebronn" or "Alt-Cleebronn". The two places, separated by a stream, were communally independent until December 31, 1843, but formed a unified Evangelical Church Community of Cleebronn, in which the parish registers were kept uniform. On January 1, 1844, the two communities were merged to form the new unitary community Cleebronn ; New Cleebronn had previously covered about one third of the territory, Old Cleebronn two thirds.
