The origin of the Habans
The Habans are the successors of the Hutteries, whose spiritual father was Jakob Hutter. They originated mainly from Germany, Switzerland and Netherlands and settled in South Moravia and in the west of current territory of Slovakia. The Hutteries formed one of the anabaptist groups and were as the other supporters of this way of thinking persecuted in the catholic Europe, Jakob Hutter himself was burned alive at the stake on 25th February 1526 on the command of king Ferdinand in Innsbruck, Austria. The origin of the Habans dates back to the period of the thirty years war (1618 - 1648), which was based on the conflict of catholic and protestant countries. As radical protestants, they had to leave Moravia in 1622 and moved to Slovakia, although 230 of them converted to the Catholic Church. During the next about hundred and fifty years they were forced to leave central Europe or to reunite with the catholic majority, although they still tried to keep their thoughts and habits. Those who remained are the Habans. This name originates from Hebrew word ha-banim as the term for children (of god), but it corresponds well also with the German denomination Die Haushaben, thus the occupants of community houses. The main reason why they managed to stay and were tolerated was in their abilities and diligence in many domains. They were excellent craftsmen, artists, but also for example doctors and the lords were glad to use their services.
