From 1862 the Obersülzen congregation was officially a branch of the Monsheim congregation. In 1890 the Mennonite residents of Battenburg, who had belonged to the Altleinigen congregation, joined Obersülzen. There were in Obersülzen in 1802, 33 Mennonites, including children, and 66 in 1834. In 1869 it numbered 68 baptized members, in 1888 120, children included, in 1941 about 100, in 1957, 94 baptized members. Formerly the congregation had two meetinghouses; in addition to the one at Obersülzen, which was built in 1806, there was also one in Heppenheim, built in 1783. Now only the one in Obersülzen is used.

 Obersülzen<strong>, </strong>a village near Grünstadt in the [[p3594.html|Palatinate]], [[Germany|Germany]], in which there was a comparatively large [[Anabaptism|Anabaptist]] congregation in 1568 with preachers and deacons. After the [[Thirty Years' War (1618-1648)|Thirty Years' War]] the congregation was united with [[Gerolsheim (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Gerolsheim]] and [[Heppenheim auf der Wiese (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Heppenheim a.d. Wiese]]. Regular church services were held in rotation in the three villages. The congregation was originally called Gerolsheim; Müller states that Dirmstein and Offstein belonged to the total congregation. In 1732 it numbered 40 families; the preachers were Hans and Christian Borckholder, the deacons were Christian Stauffer of Obersülzen and Johannes Hirschler of Gerolsheim; in 1769 the congregation had 69 baptized members. Beginning in 1783 the congregation was called Heppenheim. It is listed thus in the [[Ibersheim Resolutions (Ibersheimer Beschlusse) |resolutions]] of [[Ibersheim (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Ibersheim]], which were signed for the congregation by Gerhard Hüthwohl of Heppenheim. Several years later the center of gravity shifted to Obersülzen, which has remained the seat of the congregation. Since the middle of the 19th century it has been merged with [[Monsheim (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Monsheim]].
-In 1671 a number of Swiss Mennonite emigrants settled near Obersülzen. Jacob Everlin (Eberlinck), probably a minister of the Obersülzen congregation, corresponded with the [[Lamist Mennonite Church (Amsterdam, Netherlands)|Lamist Mennonite congregation]] at [[Amsterdam (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Amsterdam]], sending a list of the names of these Swiss Brethren. Thereupon four delegates of the Amsterdam congregation visited Obersülzen in 1672 and supported the immigrants with a considerable amount of money. Everlin also reports concerning doctrinal differences between the Swiss Brethren and his own congregation. Abstracts of letters written by the Dutch delegates in 1671-1672 and sent from Obersülzen are found in [[Braght, Tieleman Jansz van (1625-1664)|van Braght's]] <em>[[Martyrs' Mirror| Martyrs' Mir]]</em>[[Martyrs' Mirror|<em>ror</em>]]<em>, </em>E 1125-1127.

 On 5 May 1682 the [[Alzey (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Alzey]] district officials demanded a report on a funeral of the Anabaptists in Obersülzen, at which a large meeting of the same took place, and on their Sunday service, at which preachers coming from other localities functioned. The reply was that after the preacher who had lived among them for twenty years had died, they had been holding a meeting every three or four weeks in a home or in a barn, attended by 50-100 Anabaptists from the surrounding villages. The present preacher <em>(Vermahner) </em>lived at [[Gerolsheim (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)|Gerolsheim]], and occasionally one came from Rodenbach and [[Mannheim (Baden-Württemberg, Germany)|Mannheim]]. Thus the funeral had been attended by many Mennonites from the vicinity. Thereupon all meetings of the Mennonites were prohibited in Obersülzen and at Heppenheim.
