"Engraving of Teutonic KnightsThe Order of the Teutonic Knights of St. Mary's Hospital in Jerusalem or for short the Teutonic Order (Today: German Order), is a German Roman Catholic religious order. It was formed to aid Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to establish hospitals to care for the sick and injured. Its members have commonly been known as the Teutonic Knights, since they also served as a crusading military order during the Middle Ages. The membership was always small and whenever the need arose, volunteers or mercenaries augmented the military forces.Old 19th century engraving"
