Friedennsstadt – PLAQUE

This stone marks the site of the former Moravian Indian village of Languntoutenunk, or Friedensstadt, or city of Peace. Settled by the Moravian Indians in the spring of 1778. The majority of the members of this Mission had formerly belonged to the Mission at Wyalusing. Before removing to Lawunakhannek on the Allegheny River, from which place they removed to this site in the spring of 1773, the inhabitants of this village moved to Gnadenhuetten and Schoenbrunn in the Tuscarawas Valley, where other Moravian Missions were organized.
