Comment

Named after the Order of Brothers of the German House of St. Mary in Jerusalem, the Teutonic Order was founded as a military order in the city of Acre in 1190 and today has its headquarters in Vienna. Initially a hospitaller brotherhood, the Teutonic Order began helping Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land in 1198.

Hermann von Salza, the fourth Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, was a friend and advisor to Frederick II, who from 1220 until his death in 1250 was Emperor of the Holy Roman German Empire. Born in Ancona in 1194, Frederick spent his youth in Sicily and spoke six languages, including Arabic. As one of the pope's informants put it: "The 12-year-old boy may be just a boy, but he already has the character of a king". Frederick's court became an important center for the study of science and poetry. As one of the most important supporters of the Teutonic Order, Frederick gained a good reputation both in Europe and in the Holy Land.

However, Frederick repeatedly postponed his planned crusade, and was subsequently excommunicated by Pope Gregory IX in 1227. Despite being rejected by the Christian community, he finally set off for the Holy Land in 1228 and reconquered the pilgrimage sites of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth without a struggle. Thanks to peaceful negotiations over a period of several months, Frederick finally reached an agreement with Sultan Al-Kamil. The Germanic Roman Emperor was crowned King of Jerusalem in 1229.

Nommé d'après l'Ordre des Frères de la Maison allemande de Sainte-Marie à Jérusalem, l'Ordre Teutonique a été fondé en tant qu'ordre militaire dans la ville d'Acre en 1190 et a aujourd'hui son siège à Vienne. Initialement confrérie hospitalière, l'Ordre teutonique a commencé à partir de 1198 à aider les chrétiens dans leurs pèlerinages en Terre Sainte.

Hermann von Salza, le quatrième Grand Maître de l'Ordre Teutonique, était un ami et un conseiller de Frédéric II, qui de 1220 à sa mort en 1250 était l'Empereur du Saint Empire Romain Germanique. Né à Ancône en 1194, Frédéric passe sa jeunesse en Sicile et parle six langues, dont l'arabe. Comme l'a rapporté un informateur du pape : "Le garçon de 12 ans n'est peut-être qu'un garçon, mais il a déjà le caractère d'un roi". La cour de Frédéric est devenue un centre important pour l'étude de la science et de la poésie. En tant que l'un des plus importants partisans de l'ordre teutonique, Frederick a acquis une bonne réputation à la fois en Europe et en Terre Sainte.

Cependant, Frédéric reporta à plusieurs reprises la croisade qu'il avait prévu d'entreprendre et fut par la suite excommunié par le pape Grégoire IX en 1227. Bien que rejeté par la communauté chrétienne, il finit par partir pour la Terre Sainte en 1228 et reconquit les lieux de pèlerinage de Jérusalem, Bethléem et Nazareth sans lutte. Grâce à des négociations pacifiques sur une période de plusieurs mois, Frederick est finalement parvenu à un accord avec le sultan Al-Kamil. L'empereur romain germanique a été couronné roi de Jérusalem en 1229.
