Relations hips between the brothers of the order

No evil speech - no whispering, no slander, no boasting about past deeds, no lies, no curses or insults, quarrels or idle words should come from the lips of brothers. But if one of the brothers offends another by word or deed, let them not delay in finding reconciliation, and with immediate words heal the wounds in the heart of the other, which they inflicted by word or deed. The sun does not set on our anger - this means that it does not last until sunset, and if you brought something to the altar and remembered that your brother has a grudge against you, leave your offering and hurry to reconcile with your brother and only then make the sacrifice.

Social behavior

When the brothers travel or go to the enemy or on their own business, they show the sign of the Order with their cross. They must try to show people by examples of good deeds and useful words that God is with them and within them. When they are on the road, traveling from place to place, they must avoid inns and places with a bad reputation. They should also have light in their room all night, so that nothing bad happens to their reputation or property. Weddings and meetings of knights and other meetings and empty entertainments, which serve the devil as worldly pride, the brothers should rarely attend, only on business of the Order or for the salvation of lost souls.

Care and mentoring

The rod and manna from heaven were placed in the Ark of the Covenant, which means that judges must use both. One calls for mercy, the other for justice and requires severity. Therefore, the Master, who is placed over all, must himself give all the brothers a good example, rebuke the disobedient, accept the sick, encourage the downhearted and be gentle and patient with everyone. He must carry in his hands a rod and a staff. With the rod of vigilance he graciously frees the lazy from the deadly sleep of laziness and suppresses any disobedience. The staff represents paternal care and compassion with which he must support the morally unstable and strengthen the faint-hearted and broken by sorrow, so that they are not defeated by despair.

Care for the Brothers

Brothers should be cared for generously and treated with patience and respect. No one should be strict in any way with the physical needs of those who conduct themselves nobly and piously. All brothers should behave with each other so that friendly agreement in the name of brotherhood does not turn into hardness of heart. It is necessary to pay attention to living in brotherly love, in the spirit of kindness, so that they can say about them: how good and pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity, which is agreement.

JOIN THE BROTHERHOOD EGREGOR TEUTONICUS

The Teutonic Order was founded nearly 10 centuries ago in Acre and evolved from a hospital for pilgrims into an order of knights whose influence spread throughout Europe. And which still exists today.

The Teutonic Order suffered under Nazi Germany and was banned on September 16, 1938, following the annexation of Austria. During the war the suppression of orders occurred throughout Europe, along with the persecution of knights, arrests and imprisonment in concentration camps.The Nazis only began to use the Order's symbolism for their own propaganda purposes and suppressed it because it was a Catholic religious organization, which Hitler considered a threat to his power. He did this to lend an aura of historical legitimacy and tradition to his regime. The Teutonic Order was restored in 1945 after the defeat of Nazi Germany. In 1947 the measures taken against the Order were repealed and there was a partial return of confiscated property.

The Teutonic Order has nothing to do with fascism or Nazism. It was a religious and knightly order founded in the 12th century during the Crusades, with the mission to protect pilgrims and defend territories. Later, it administered and Christianized parts of Eastern Europe. Its goals were spiritual, military, and administrative in nature. Fascism and Nazism emerged more than 600 years later and had no ideological or organizational connection to the Teutonic Order. However, in the 20th century, nationalist and fascist regimes appropriated certain medieval and Germanic symbols—including elements resembling Teutonic insignia—to give their movements a false sense of historical depth and legitimacy. This was a superficial and propagandistic misuse. The actual legacy of the Teutonic Order is rooted in medieval Christian Europe, not in the totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century. Any visual similarities were symbolic borrowings with no historical or moral connection.

We are not a military or political organization.
Our mission is to restore the historical, spiritual, and cultural greatness of the Teutonic Order as it was originally conceived in the Middle Ages — as a union of faith, service, and justice. Therefore, we hope for your support. We firmly reject any attempt to exploit the Order’s symbols and heritage for selfish or ideological purposes, especially those seen during the Nazi era. The National Socialist regime misused historical imagery to lend false legitimacy to its ideology — an ideology fundamentally opposed to the spirit and mission of the Teutonic Order. Our goal is to cleanse this legacy of distortion and restore its true meaning — grounded in honor, service, and historical truth.

ORDO - is not just a token. It is a banner of digital chivalry, which stands for the ideas of brotherhood, duty and honor. Join the order and become part of the history of the future.
