Anna Bullinger-Adlischwyler
gest. 1564
Anna Bullinger-Adlischwyler lebte vor ihrer Ehe als Nonne im Kloster Oetenbach. Als Heinrich Bullinger sie bat, seine Ehefrau zu werden, machte sie sich die Entscheidung nicht leicht. Als eine der letzten verliess sie das Kloster und heiratete 1529 den späteren Nachfolger Ulrich Zwinglis.
Als Ehefrau von Heinrich Bullinger widmete sie ihr Leben dem reformierten Glauben. Sie führte ein offenes und gastfreundliches Pfarrhaus und bot zahlreichen Glaubensflüchtlingen einen Zufluchtsort in Zürich.
Mit ihrer Gastfreundschaft und ihrem gelebten Glauben wurde die Mutter von 11 Kindern für nachfolgende Generationen zum Idealbild der reformierten Pfarrfrau. Sie verstarb 1564 an der Pest.
Anna Bullinger-Adlischwyler
Died 1564
Before her marriage, Anna Bullinger-Adlischwyler lived as a nun in the Oetenbach monastery. When Heinrich Bullinger asked her to become his wife, she did not take the decision lightly. She was one of the last to leave the monastery and married Ulrich Zwingli's later successor in 1529.
As the wife of Heinrich Bullinger, she dedicated her life to the Reformed faith. She ran an open and hospitable parsonage and offered numerous religious refugees a place of refuge in Zurich.
With her hospitality and her lived faith, the mother of 11 children became the ideal image of the Reformed pastor's wife for subsequent generations. She died of the plague in 1564.
