Streichenberg, a former Mennonite congregation near Eppingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, was settled at the beginning of the 18th century by exiles from the Swiss canton of Bern (Müller, 210, where the name is Streigenberg). At the beginning of the 19th century Martin Frey, a member of the congregation, built a meetinghouse. In 1843 Heinrich Baer of the Dammhof was chosen elder and Samuel Brandt and Daniel Baer deacons. Later the Streichenberg congregation merged with Bockschaft. In 1731 it numbered ten families. In the Dutch Naamlijst of 1766 the congregation is called the Bockschaft, Streichenberg, and Wesingen church. Martin Kräuter was at that time its elder, ordained in 1746. In 1767 the congregation obtained a second elder, Jakob Funck. The Naamlijst of 1773 lists Bockschaft and Streichenberg as two separate congregations, each with its own elder and preachers. The elder of the Streichenberg church was Jakob Funck and the preachers were Heinrich Funck (ord. 1772) and Philippus Schneider (1772-after 1801). According to later issues of the Naamlijst, Funck was followed as elder in 1773 by Jost Glück, who served until after 1801.
