Apostolische Brüder (Apostolic Brethren) was the popular designation for the Waldenses in the later Middle Ages and in the Reformation period, also at times for the Anabaptists (Keller, Reformation). The apostolic example that they tried to realize in teaching and in life may have led to this designation. J. H. Ottius, <em>Annales Anabaptistici </em>(Basel, 1672) states: "They are called apostolic from their apostles or missionaries; according to others, because they claimed to follow the apostles exactly, took the Bible literally, left their possessions, and without shoes, without wallets, without money traveled about everywhere, washed one another's feet, and ordered that all goods should be held in common." It is nevertheless worth noticing that this name was applied anew by Mennonites in Russia in the Apostolische Brüdergemeinde.
