Dorothea Trudel

Dorothea Trudel (27 October 1813 – 6 September 1862)[1] was a Swiss woman who was involved in faith healing.

Her mother strongly influenced her spiritual life and her piety can be attributed to pietism within the Reformed Church.

She made visits to the mentally ill and began to hold edification meetings in the house and children's classes.

As early as 1860, Trudel called the young teacher Samuel Zeller into her ministry.

She greatly appreciated the sermon book by the Württemberg revivalist preacher Ludwig Hofacker (1798–1828).
