History

Having separated from the established church, their theology was based in part on the writings of Jakob Böhme. Leading among their group were some natives of Rottenacker on the Danube. They did not practice baptism or confirmation and did not celebrate religious holidays except for the Sabbath. The state gave them a choice of digging it themselves for pay or having the state pay others to dig the canal. The Zoarites then spent several years in the 1820s digging the canal and thus were able to pay off their loans on time with much money to spare.
