År 1719 kom de første fransk reformerte kolonister til Fredericia. De kom fra Pfalz og Brandenburg, hvor deres forfædre havde levet en årrække i landflygtighed, fjernt fra hjemstavnen Frankrig og Belgien.
Utallige forfølgelser og lidelser havde de måttet udstå for deres religiøse overbevisning under trusler om galejerne og bålet. I Fredericia gav den danske stat dem et fristed.
Menigheden blev et grundelement i Fredericias befolkning. Efterkommere vedtog i 300 året for Fredericias grundlæggelse at rejse denne mindestøtte i taknemmelig erindring om den beskyttelse som menigheden fandt bag byens volde.

In 1719, the first French Reformed colonists came to Fredericia. They came from Pfalz and Brandenburg, where their ancestors had lived for a number of years in rural exile, distant from their native France and Belgium.
They had to endure countless persecutions and sufferings for their religious convictions under threats of the galleys and the fire. In Fredericia, the Danish state gave them a sanctuary.
