• Bruderhof History Seri...
The Bruderhof was founded in 1920 in Germany by the Protestant theologian Eberhard Arnold, his wife Emmy, and her sister Else von Hollander. Seeking answers to the devastation of post-war society, and frustrated by the silence of the established church in the face of widespread chaos, they left Berlin and moved to the remote village of Sannerz. There, inspired by the example of the first Christians in Jerusalem, they started a community with a small group of fellow Christians.

Just when I thought I had scoured and viewed everything I could find on Bruderhof I came across this gem of a series. Thanks.

This is great. Thank you for producing this video. I will be looking forward to seeing the rest of the series as it comes out. I really appreciate the outreach that I see coming from the Bruderhof lately. You have a rich history and I think more people need to hear about it. Thank you.

I watched all this series, then bought the book, "Homage to A Broken Man", which I have started to read, it is has just clicked that "Homage to a Broken Man" is the biography of Eberhard Arnold, Bruderhof's founder's son, and compiled by Peter Mommsen, Eberhard Arnold's great grandson 😊

I want to live there! It's different than a hudderite colony? Is it like a amish community with a harsh hierarchy?
