Welcome to our website! The Order of Saint Mary of
Jerusalem (Teutonic Order) of the House of Antioch
and Swabia is an ancient Military-Hospitaller Order
whose roots go back to the Holy Land at the time of
the Third Crusade, which was organized by Emperor
Friedrich Barbarossa. After the Knights Templar and
the Knights of Saint John, the Teutonic Order
became the third order of Christian chivalry. It was
founded on November 19, 1190 by the second son of
Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa, Friedrich, Duke of
Swabia (Hohenstaufen), to assist pilgrims and
wounded German knights in the Holy Land.
Our order, whose headquarters is in Tuscany, Italy,
is present and active in many countries, including the
United States. It is registered in Italy and the United
Kingdom, and recognized by the European
Commission, and the United Nations. Apart from
standing up for the Christian faith, it does charitable
work around the world, and thus continues the
ancient and noble goal of Christian knighthood: To
help those who cannot help themselves.
Please take your time as you browse through our
website. If you would like to know more, please feel

Kind regards,
