    Rheingrafenstein, a village near Kreuznach in the former Prussian Rhine Province, now Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, is named in the Dutch Naamlijst of 1766 as the seat of the Mennonite congregation of Rheingrafenstein, Erbesbüdesheim, and Weierhof. Services were held weekly alternately at the Rheingrafenstein castle and Dimrotherhof. Ulrich Ellenberger was the elder of this congregation in 1743-67. In 1768 the congregation divided into its three component parts, each with its own deacons and preachers, but served by one elder, Jakob Galle of Uffhofen, who was ordained in 1767. ...

    ... In the Dutch Naamlijsten (first mentioned in 1766, when the congregation is called Rheingrafenstein-Erbesbüdesheim-Weierhof) the following elders and preachers are listed for Erbesbüdesheim: Elder, Ulrich Ellenberger, 1743-67; Johannes Möllinger; Christian Stauffer; Christian Göbel; Heinrich Plätscher; Jakob Gaily (Galle), preacher 1762, elder 1767; Jacob Heer (no dates); David Hüthwohl, 1769-86; Christian Eicher, preacher 1786, elder 1798; and Jacob Galle, 1801-?

    At first they held their services in the Nack castle, later at the Erbesbüdesheim castle. Until 1748 this congregation and the Weierhof congregation had the same preacher and a common alms fund. In the second half of the 18th century the Erbesbüdesheim congregation met at the Schniftenbergerhof. It is listed by this name in the records of the Ibersheim conference of 1803, which were signed by Christian Eicher for this church. ...
