In 1894, the Christian Community Hirt und Herde was founded in Saxony, which is a classic Christian New Revelation. Today, it is a relatively secluded community about which no serious research literature exists. In the decades following its foundation, Hirt und Herde gained more and more followers, founded communities in what is now the Czech Republic, among other places, and was briefly the third-largest religious community in Saxony in terms of membership. However, as a result of various political, cultural and social processes, membership numbers declined and the community withdrew completely from the public eye. Today, the community only has around 700 followers. In addition to presenting the doctrinal content and the history of Hirt and Herde, the development of this religious community, which exists in the heart of Europe but is nevertheless completely unknown, is analysed with the help of religious sociological models.
