Baumgartner, Uli (17th century)
Uli Baumgartner, a preacher of the Swiss Brethren at Dürstrütti near Langnau in the Emmental, canton of Bern, was seized on 25 September 1629 and led to Trachselwald and from there to Bern, where he was cruelly tortured on 2 November to turn him from the error of his faith. He is the subject of the beautiful Dürsrüttilied (Müller, Berner Täufer, 197, 122). Thirty years later (1659) an Uli Baumgärtner (Martyrs Mirror Dutch 826 gives his name as Uly Boogaert, and Martyrs Mirror English 1124 gives his name as Uly Bogart) of Lauperswyl (Rinderspach) with ten fellow believers, preachers, and leaders of the churches, including a Benedict Baumgärtner of Dürsrütti, were held imprisoned in Bern until 10 September 1660 when they were exiled to Holland. The last named returned to his home and was imprisoned again. Nothing further is known about them.
