The name Old Colony Mennonites (German: Altkolonier-Mennoniten) is used to describe that part of the Russian Mennonite movement that is descended from colonists who migrated from the Chortitza Colony in Russia (itself originally of Prussian origins) to settlements in Canada. Theologically, Old Colony Mennonites are largely Conservative Mennonites. "The Old Colony Mennonites represent one of the purest survivals of the Brethren or Anabaptist wing of the Reformation"; and are typically more conservative than most other Russian Mennonites in North America.

  • Die Altkolonier-Mennoniten, teilweise auch nur Altkolonier genannt, sind eine Untergruppe der Russlandmennoniten und gehören damit zu der bis zur Reformation im frühen 16. Jahrhundert zurückreichenden freikirchlichen Tradition der Mennoniten. Unter ihnen finden sich sehr traditionalistische Gruppen, die den Mennoniten alter Ordnung ähneln, beispielsweise darin, dass sie bis heute mit der Kutsche fahren und das Auto ablehnen. Die heutige Zahl der Altkolonier beträgt weit über 100.000 Menschen, die alle auf dem amerikanischen Doppelkontinent leben, vor allem in Mittel- und Südamerika, jedoch auch in Kanada und den USA.

  • The name Old Colony Mennonites (German: Altkolonier-Mennoniten) is used to describe that part of the Russian Mennonite movement that is descended from colonists who migrated from the Chortitza Colony in Russia (itself originally of Prussian origins) to settlements in Canada. Theologically, Old Colony Mennonites are largely Conservative Mennonites. Since Chortitza was the first Mennonite settlement in Russia, it was known as the "Old Colony". In the course of the 19th century the population of the Chortitza Colony multiplied, and daughter colonies were founded. Part of the settlement moved to Canada in the 1870s, and the Canadian community, whose church was officially known as the "Reinländer Mennoniten Gemeinde", was still informally known by the old name.When members of the Old Colony Mennonites then moved from Canada to other places, the name was kept. "The Old Colony Mennonites represent one of the purest survivals of the Brethren or Anabaptist wing of the Reformation"; and are typically more conservative than most other Russian Mennonites in North America. In 1990, Old Colony Mennonite communities could be found in Mexico, Bolivia, Belize, Paraguay, Argentina, Canada, and the United States of America; by 2013, the vast majority of Old Colony Mennonites lived in Mexico, where about 60% of the 100,000 Mennonites were affiliated with the Altkolonier Mennonitengemeinde and Bolivia, where about 75% of 70,000 were affiliated with the Altkolonier Mennonitengemeinde. A smaller group lived in Belize, where about 50% of 10,000 were affiliated with the Altkolonier Mennonitengemeinde. Smaller groups of Old Colony Mennonites also lived in Paraguay, Argentina, Canada and the US. (en)
