Dannenberg, a former Mennonite congregation in [[Lithuania|Lithuania]]. There are a number of documents and letters pertaining to the Dannenberg congregation in the [[Amsterdam Mennonite Library (Bibliotheek en Archief van de Vereenigde
Doopsgezinde Gemeente te Amsterdam)|Archives of the Amsterdam Mennonite Church]]. These letters show that this congregation in Prussian Lithuania belonged to the United High German, [[Frisian Mennonites|Frisian]] and [[Flemish Mennonites|Flemish]] Mennonites. In May 1724 they were obliged to leave the country, but soon returned. In 1731 they numbered 47 families and asked the [[Amsterdam (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Amsterdam]] congregation for financial help, which was given. Their ministers were Hans Jantzen and Thies Ewerdt. [[Denner, Jakob (1659-1746)|Elder Jakob Denner]]of Altona arrived in November 1731 to spend the winter with the church at Dannenberg. On 22 February 1732, by order of [[Friedrich Wilhelm I, King in Prussia (1688-1740)|King Frederick William I]] of Prussia, they were expelled again. They had to leave Dannenberg before 8 June of this year. Most of them (with some other Mennonites) emigrated by ship, via [[Königsberg (Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia)|Königsberg]] to Amsterdam, 110 souls in all. They were supplied with houses and land at [[Wageningen (Gelderland, Netherlands)|Wageningen]] and on the island of [[Walcheren (Zeeland, Netherlands)|Walcheren]] near [[Middelburg (Zeeland, Netherlands)|Middelburg]] by the Dutch Mennonite Committee of Foreign Needs. This colonization proved to be a failure. Beginning in September 1736 they gradually returned and settled in the environs of Danzig and [[Elbing (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland)|Elbing]]. The exact relation of this congregation to the other Mennonite settlement (begun in 1714) and congregations is not clear. In any case it had only a short existence under the name Dannenberg.
