Eenrum, NL
In 1819, the Mennonite communities of Obergum, Rasquert and Den Hoorn founded a new church in Mensingeweer. But when the province of Groningen planned a road in the fifties of the 20th century on the site of the church building and parsonage, they moved to Eenrum where a new church building was built on the J.J.Willingestraat. The name of the community then became: "Mennonite community of Mensingeweer in Eenrum".
