When, in 1527, the Anabaptists met in the first "synod" of the Protestant Reformation at Schleitheirm on today’s Swiss-German border, near Schaffhousen, the leading figure at this meeting was the former Benedictine monk, Michael Sattler. Four months later he was burned at the stake in nearby Rottenburg-am-Neckar.
