The Amana Colonies, a religious communal society founded in the 19th century by German immigrants, emphasized simplicity, equality, and shared resources. Residents lived in a communal setting, sharing work, meals, and responsibilities, with a strong focus on spiritual life and adherence to their faith. They practiced agriculture and craftsmanship, and decision-making was often collective, reflecting their ideals of unity and cooperation. This way of life fostered a sense of community and connection among members, prioritizing communal well-being over individualism.
