+ Teutonic Order - The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem (official names: Latin: Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum, German: Orden der Brüder vom Deutschen Haus der Heiligen Maria in Jerusalem), commonly the Teutonic Order, also Deutschherrenorden or Deutschritterorden) +
In the prologue of Teutonic Order's Book it reads: "Real Knighthood does not only know the time-bound form of swordplay, which has passed; the actual composure of chivalrous men is rather expressed in their commitment for the Lord's Kingdom, for protecting the defenseless, for helping the maltreated, those beset, the condemned and those in need." It is the pronounced goal of the Knights, Brothers, Sisters and Marian Associates of the German Order to jointly implement this composure, abiding by the Order's motto "Helping and Healing".
